I think from what I have read the 2.5 TDI is not that good a lump, stick with the 1.9.

I think Im just chasing power. 2.5 V6 TDI it has more bhp and more importantly alot more torques than the 1.9

Speak to DH, he knows his stuff but I don't think the 2.5 is that good tbh.

2.5 V6 is a terrible engine

Mate with a Passat had one and he had to have the head rebuilt

Also, they don't feel like they have 170bbhp

It all seems to be mixed reviews on the 2.5 V6. Mainly the conclusion is make sure it has a full service history and ensure the correct oil has been used for most of the life of the engine. Going to have a look at one in an hour anyhow so will report back

Blokes a f**king tosser, back to square one then  :embarassed:
