I drive a TDI 170 and get an average of around 38mpg most fill-ups! Saying...

    170 TDI cambelt price!!!

    I really wanted to keep it Audi as I bought the car Audi Approved and have kept all work at Audi over the last 2 years but this is just a bit too much. I've already rung a couple of specialists and they are getting back to me tomorrow.
