As said bud tdi is no good she drives 4-5 miles to work. So dont see point of a tdi.. so the engines i mentioned are all a no go??

Just steer clear of anything diesel with a DPF. Horrible modern tat!

all the engines are allright,  everything mecanical ever built has a weackness or problem tbh

i personaly dislike cam chains alltogether only reason there on engines now is because people b!tched so much about haveing to change belts,  but chains can bite you in the arse just as redaly as a belt and they bite much harder. usally down to lax serviceing.

ie driveing 4 miles a day,   thats horrible for engines really you shoud change the oil much more often with that sort of use  but no one ever dose

Yup i figured the servicing cost is going to be more due to short city driving.. Going to see a 1.6fsi mk5 tomorow so see how it goes.. Going to just bite the bullet and for 1.6 fsi's as not getting much info on them so best try luck ourselves

if she's only doing a ten mile round trip everyday, then a little 1400 petrol polo or 1600 golf is your best bet. cheaper to fix and service. diesels only come into their own after like 15-20k miles.

I know bud not loking at diesels do not know why everybody is banging on about them 

Seen a mk5 1.6 fsi.  Engine sounded but fooked and service history was missing so walked away. Going to see a few more through the weekend

my missus has a 1.6 toyota corrolla. its a pukka car, decent enough amount of power and well worthy of a remap. averages 38-40mpg around town. totally bulletproof. full longlife service is usually around 150 donks and it drives like a dream.

I doubt it's any less enthralling than a 1.6fsi.....
