Did you actually read the rest of this thread before posting ?

Yes, I have. So far, I have saw that is the 2.0 TDI PD in question. I am wondering how is the thing going with this "new" CR engines?

Hi.
Mine is a 2010 16tdi with 91000 miles on the clock. It has only had routine maintenance( dmf and timing belt) and up to now it has been ok. I have had 1.9 tdi's in the past which have been great but with all the improvements this has been better, just keep up to the servicing and they are ok.
This car has been mot'd this very morning and passed with flying colours.

Thanks for the information. That is what I am looking for, more experience is welcome. So, you had 1.9 tdi in past. Can you please advise which car and engine power. I am asking this, because I am afraid of "under-power" of this 1.6 tdi in reference to my 1.9 tdi PD of 130 hp. I did not have opportunity to test any car with this engine. Your experience will be appreciate even more if you had same engine like my in the past.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi.
Both my passats (and a 1.9 A3 audi) were 105 bhp and they were allways enough for me. The 1.6 is also 105 bhp but a mild remap will give you enough and smooth the engine also.
