2.7 V6 TDi - a good engine?

I have one in my 2005 C6 and I’m a couple of hundred miles from tipping over 220k. It had its first clutch change(manual) at 175k and the turbo was changed at around 160k do engine wise it’s solid.


DSG was never an option. You can get the multi-tronic reliable if it’s had the oil and filter changed but still have their limits.

I believe the gearbox is also used in BMW and they specify an oil and filter change at around 80 or 90k I think so about now for you. Although Audi specify it’s a lifetime oil so take your pick but if you buy it either ask for it to be changed or make sure you change it as soon as you buy it.

Or just buy a manual and look after it like I have

The early multi tronic 6 speed i had in my mk1 q7 ( mine was 2008) was an aisin box i believe and probably from land cruiser type of production line and had borg and beck axles but cant remember if transfer box was different or whatever but at the time thinking what a mismatch of parts i have here, audi said it ( multi tronic)was sealed for life and didnt ever need changed
