Whilst on A4's, regarding TDI, what the 2.5-2.7-3.0TDI engines like, I know pumps seem to be main issue but running costs seem quite good?

Terrible around town, not too bad on a run but nothing like you get from the 1.9 and 2.0 TDIs

And if it goes wrong  :sad:

Basically I'm better off getting a 2.0 and 1.9, as I did love the sound of the 3.0 with a miltek system.

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Red was power just a DPF friendly remap that he had from Rhys and the blue is with the DPF removal, EGR delete and Hybrid turbo.
