Pal of mine is changing his '04 307 which has become a money pit. His daughter has a 2.0 Tdi (140) Golf which will shortly be three yo and he is thinking of buying it from her. He tells me that a local indie, who service his 307, have warned him off that particular engine as it is prone to problems! My take on it is that there are so many of them there are bound to be a few with problems, although my gf was left stranded twice when her Passat Tdi suffered injector failures at less than 3yo.
He is not bothered about 2.0 power just long term reliability, so would he be better with the 1.6 Tdi as fitted in a newish A3?
I might have a vested interest because I bought a 59 plate A3 1.6 Tdi SE for my gf's daughter to use as a runaround for a few months whilst she was in the UK to give birth and she returns overseas next month. It will probably be sent to the auctions unless my pal wants it.
