Hi,
After 10 years sterling service my 1.9 AFN-engined A4 (with starship miles) is getting to the point that a replacement is needed.
Now, I've always said that I'd never contemplate a 2.0 TDI having heard all the horror stories of oil pumps etc but now find myself looking at a very late 2006 A3 with the 2.0 140bhp BKD engine.
It has done just over 100k miles with an impeccable service history and the turbo was replaced about 20k miles ago.
Can anyone offer an advice as to whether the BKD is one of the 'better' 2.0 litres or is it a disaster waiting to go wrong?
Many thanks!
