A pal of mine has just retired and is looking to replace his 16yo 220k mile A4 1.9 Tdi estate. He will be driving far fewer miles, sub 10k pa, but insists on a diesel as he prefers their driving characteristics. By the end of the month he hopes to have a year old 320/325d Touring, which he will keep for another 15 years.
I suggested, possibly incorrectly, that with only the occasional long run now his daily commute has finished, he would be better of with a petrol, but that is a big no no for him.
Do modern diesels, in his case either the 320d or 325d, still suffer from DPF problems please? Personally I would get a 330 or 335 petrol but sub 40mpg appals him!!
