JPK:1814405 said:90% my ****
There are just as many posts about people having problems & "common" problems with petrol models whether it be a 1.8T or an S3.
Really? I call bullsh*t. Here is all the mechanical problem threads on the first 2 pages of this forum as of right now. If you want to go back further it's the same. I was generous at 90%. I'm not wanting an arguement, perhaps as I said it is simply skewed by the TDI being more popular, therefore more on the roads than petrol models. Either way, the proof is in the pudding.

I'm not wanting an arguement either & yes I did notice in your first post that you said there are more TDI's on the road so it would be obvious there would be more threads about TDI's. What I'm trying to say 90% is a bit far-fetched considering your only looking at the first few pages of the forum. I would of loved a 2.0T as that was what I was actually wanting when I was looking for an A3 (also wanted it to be an s-line) but after months of searching I just could not find one locally. So I test drove a 2.0TDI (140) SE and bought it as soon as I got back to the dealers. I never thought I would buy a diesel as I was always a petrol man but I honestly think vag diesel engines are brilliant aswell as there petrol engines. My TDI has given me no issues I'm glad to say.
