They were gooduns.Anything after 06 not so good.Ive had an Octavia and a caddy van both with the 2.0tdi and all I did was throw money at them and I've now got an A4 S Line with the 2.0tdi and I'm permanently wondering how long till something f****d up.I really want a vw T5 to convert into a camper but I'm nervous about having anything else with a VAG 2.0tdi engine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do a 2.5 5 cylinder but heard mixed reviews about them.I know a few of the lads rate the older 1.9 but theyre a bit old hat now.Got to at least have air con and a 6speed box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A mate who’s a mechanic has an old Octavia ex taxi that has over 260000 miles on it and still going and it gets abused. Lol. Bits and pieces fall off it constantly and the electrics are shot but the engine is flying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
