Hi all,
New to the a2 game - aquired a good eaxample of 1.6 FSI sport with low miles well looked after - seems cracking car - should have converted yrs ago !
Not to impressed yet on the mpg - get about 36 averaged on a 400mile run after collecting. Is this par for the course ??
Main question is really about diesel engines - How long can well maintained TDI's run for ??
I have a family friend offering me theres with 140k on the clock with full audi serv history and long life servicing to date with no documented problems so far and 2 replaced cambelts at 60k and 120k with full service just recent and nil probs.
Do any of you have experience with long lifers ??
We intend to use for a good 70-80k miles.
Also do the Turbos go on these vehicles b4 the engine ??
I understand all comes down to how looked after and serviced and driven - this is a good example and keen on your opinions.
Many thanx and look fwd 2 hearing your thoughts.
Nick
