Hi,

I had bad luck with a nice a4 avant s-line that's corroding heavily and the dealer is messing be about so hoping for refund on Wednesday.. Now looking for a replacement! I'd apreciate your input as there is much confusion over the various engines etc and issues!

I need a passat estate, pref a sport or se spec, don't really like the r-line or s spec, just need to decide which engine is best avoided!

What years did the 2.0 tdi that has the Balance shaft issues run from? (140 and 170)
Is the 1.9 105/110 in the early 05/6 passat the same as the old 1.9 that was in the previous shape 00-05?
Is the CR 2.0 hassle free with big miles?
i missed a cracking 2011 blue motion 140 as I wa worried about dpf Etc as it had 106k on it and don't need any extra bills!

I've a budget of up to £8k but just got married so don't want to spend it all if I don't have to and considering an old 130sport as I had one a while back and loved it!!

Any help much appreciated!
thanks
