Looking for a bit of advice from you guys.
I've got a 55 reg 2.0Tdi 140 SE with the "infamous" BLB engine. After many a sleepless night I had the chain drive/balance shaft/hex drive sorted. Had a new condenser fitted for the air con and mechanically got it pretty straight.
I didn't pay top dollar for it a couple of years back as history was missing and the paintwork was not too clever.
So what is my dilemma, the car has not missed a beat for the last year, have it serviced every year/6000 miles religiously but do I get the paintwork done. Gonna need a full respray and looking at a grand plus to get it done by a mate.
Or do I chop it in for a petrol 2.0tfsi? All I keep reading is issues appearing with the B7 tfsi's as they start to get on a bit.
My mechanic thinks I am mad, even if he doesn't get any more than servicing out of me after he has sorted out my car mechanically!!
After years driving Fords, I can never see me having anything but Audi's as I ****** love them!!
Just buying 2nd hand can be a bit of a lottery so stick with the Tdi or go Tfsi?
