Hey guys, thought it would be interesting to see what mileage others have reached in their 2.0 TDI engines. I'm currently on 175,250 miles and I have an '06 A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI 140 six speed manual! Engines still pulls strong. Recently fitted Bilstein B8 shocks, H&R 35mm lowering springs and 18 inch OEM Ronal S-line alloys.
With a diesel engine the particulate deposition in the oil is much more significant than with a gasser. A normal load of particulates can render oil in a diesel engine to be a much higher viscosity at colder temperatures than at warmer ones. For example the VW TDI engine will readily start at -15F without a block heater or other starting aids.
Our test car was a high-spec R-Line version, fitted with the 150hp TDI diesel engine (there is a 1.5 TSI petrol option too, as well as a 200hp diesel and a plug-in hybrid yet to come) and a raft of standard equipment. For the €47,920 Volkswagen is asking for this particular car, you get lots of R-Line styling details, sports steering and
To power this, pretty much all Jetta TDIs (both A5 and A6) here in the US market had the same engine. That being a 2.0-liter ‘TDI’ inline-4. This tiny engine should be good for around 115hp and 125lb-ft of torque in the later A6. Mind you, this was the base-level engine for the lower trims. What you really should be aiming for is the
For economy and reliabilty go for fwd 3.0 tdi (204bhp) model. Do same miles than 2.0 177 version with a bit more power too. Under powered 3.0 give reliabilty with movement to remap for more power ect without strain on the setup.
. Buybacks and compensation for 3.0-liter Volkswagen and Audi TDI and Porsche diesel models: As of December 21, 2016, Volkswagen reached a second settlement with the roughly 78,000 owners and
The XE 20d is one of the few remaining diesel offerings in its class, starting at $37,395, a $1500 premium over the gasoline-fueled 2.0-liter turbo. Our test car scaled the options ladder nearly
First of all, this is the only engine on the list that is not turbocharged. Then why is this on the list. Well, the 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine from Honda produces almost 118hp with 145Nm of torque. Being naturally aspirated, these figures are really good and deserve to be on the list. Hyundai’s 1.0-litre Kappa Turbo GDi
The TDI engine is a lot more lively and engaging than the 2.5 Liter in the Passat. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Jetta its best possible rating of "Good" in the frontal
BMW's 6-cylinder engines are very solid and reliable engines from what I've gathered. OTOH, BMW's V8 gassers have been another story. IIRC, the N63 engine is known to be an oil drinker and there's currently an open campaign to correct some known timing chain issues. Also FWIW all BMWs diesel and gasser engines use a timing chain instead of a belt.
