Presumably the diesel is the same EA288 engine that’s in my wife’s Tiguan. I have to say it’s scarily complicated with multiple cooling circuits, dual EGRs, dual pressure belt driven oil pump etc etc. Hers has the added complication of using SCR, so uses Ad Blue. The DPF doesn’t normally passive regen on these cars – it does a forced regen every few hundred miles (which in some ways is good, as it’s no longer necessary to take them for a weekly blast).
I only ever intended that we’d keep the car for 3yrs and I was set on leasing it but go up the range a bit and buying made more sense as the residuals looked very strong. Then VW made their announcement and I fear we may be stuck with the car for some time.
I’d have no problem leasing a diesel VW but I’d be very nervous about buying one now, both for the specific issues that may arise with a diesel VW and because their misdemeanours have only served to accelerate the tide against diesel.
