Hi all,
Newbie here, looking to get an A7 - one of the 3.0 TDi's, but dunno which one.
I don't want the multi-tronic gearbox, so probably the 242bhp or the 272bhp lump. The BiTDi isn't really on my radar.
Are there any other 3.0 engines, aside from the 242 and 272 which use the 'normal' auto box, not the multitronic?
I'm also guessing there's a list of things which need doing once past the 100,000 mile mark:
DPF, Dual mass flywheel, clutch, crankshaft pulley, injectors, glow-plugs, turbos etc.
Currently running a 2007 E61 BMW 525d touring with 3 litre lump - beautiful engine but with 172k miles on it, it has cost me £3k in the last year with various high mileage diesel issues, so hoping to avoid the same issues happening with an A7, certainly in the first few years, though I accept it'll happen at some stage.
So any advice gratefully received - which are the best motors, what sort of mileage should I try and avoid, or expect to start getting high-mileage diesel issues with? Any particular years to avoid?
Thanks - Phil
