MPG petrol v diesel.

Passat TDi's seem to be very troublesome,and expensive when they go wrong.
Is it worth all the hassle for another 10 MPG.

petrol is good for them with money, after over 20 years on the road theres no going back for me, DIESEL power is the way to go.

VW & Audis are expensive when they go wrong. Fortunatly they don't go wrong that often. I've had a 1.8 A4 a 1.8turbo A6 and a 2.5 Passat V6.

If your not doing big miles I can't see the point in a diesel, the smoothness of the 18turbo in the A6 was something else ( I miss creeping up behind people in carparks ) Turbo blew on it though twice.

Needed a new engine in the A4 at 200,000 miles, ran till 220,000 when I sold it. Only other thing went wrong was a wheel bearing and a cat.

nearer you get to 25,000 miles a year the more you need a diesel, under that the extra you spend on the car might not be worth the noise/cold starts/gloves at petrol stations/the lag from the turbo.
