>>>What about other VAGs with the same engine, Dog? Would you avoid them all or are Tourans special?<<<
I am a dyed in the wool petrol head for a start Alan, although I have owned a couple of oil burners in the past
I would only consider a modern diesel if it came with a decent warrantee, due to the horror stories I have read about on HJ and pistonheads + first hand from local tradesmen.
As has been discussed before - modern diesels are becoming just too damn complex with their turbo's, hp fuel pump, valves and vents, the electronics etc, although the engines are quite sound on most makes.
Good to hear about your own experience of VAG vehicles comrade - and long may it continue.
