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  :undecided:

I thought the Audi / VW V6 TDi was only 150bhp which is why the A4 and A6 never got the 1.9TDi PD 150bhp engine from the Golf etc and stuck with the 115bhp and 130bhp....  :undecided:

As said though is wasn't the best engine, not good on fuel and not very powerful. Sounded good though!!

There are 2.5 5 cylinders and there are 2.5 V6s.

When I last drove a V6 TDI I was massively underwhelmed.

Doesn't have the gutsy delivery of the 4-banger TDI.

2.5 5-banger though.  Go on.  It'd be a bit old, but hey, what's not to like about the older A6 Avants?

Go look on Mobile.de and think about nipping over to Germany to pick something up - huge range of interesting stuff out there.

Personally, beg to differ. Town/fun driving yes, motorway 600miles a weekend, I'd prefer the V6 for the smooth delivery even if it wasn't as "go".
