Who said diesel is inferior to petrol!
my boss has a TDI 08 or 09 passat.
I can vouch for this.
only problem is the fuel savings are offset by the horrendous service and repairs cost of such cars.
well yeah if u go genuine vw kiss goodbye the moola
but that goes for ALL brands genuine BS servicing
repair costs? that's what insurance is for

can't be as bad as my half brother's EA 3.9L with more than 500k on the clock, 2nd engine. its so worn its like 25L/100km on the best of days and thats will new injectors, thermostat and O2 sensor
😂
That is an unfortunate down side to MAF based EFI system. As the engine wears the vacuum signal decreases and fools the ECU that the engine is under greater load thus increasing injector pulse width (aka more fuel) This further washed the cylinders(more blow by and less vac) and fouls the O2 sensor making it a run away situation.
If it were MAF system, it wouldn't be much worse than new.

This is not genuine service, done by a good mechanic that is reasonable in price. just the parts and labour on this bs new cars is ridiculous.
in comparison, my car costs about the same or less in maintenance than rego and insurance per year and I can do it myself in my spare time. I service my car 10 times a year at least too and not cheap oil.
to change the timing belt in my boss's car was more than my yearly maintenance costs
🤪
I just remembered (my boss) "how often do you have to change your timing belt?"
(me) "what timing belt?" "I got push rods"

Slow to start, but they can do the speed limits, only more economically.
