    A5 2.0tdi ultra or 3.0 tdi?

    Hi guys, I am about to change my car and I need a little help from people who have experience with the A4s and/or A5s (2017 onwards). Which diesel engines are the most reliable? I have been looking the 3.0 tdi and the 2.0 tdi ultra. My commute is 140 miles/day on motorway. Thank you in advance.

    3.0 TDI V6 Clattery when starting off

    So I've noticed my 2009 A6 3.0 TDI V6 is pretty noisy when setting off, or when feathering the throttle at a low speed, say 30mph. It sounds like a "normal" diesel, like i'm driving a Peugeot or something. At about 1.8k rpm (or when I put more load on the engine by adding throttle), the...

    Dogbone Mount Insert

    I had the Powerflex insert installed a few days ago, and the initial feeling was the cabin noise in idle and the vibration when reversing. Over the past few days, I noticed the reduction of transmission slop and a smoother gear change, but just the NVH bugging me... I currently got the yellow...

    When I retropectively look back, it was a good decision to buy this car because mechnically the car was sound, loads of optional extras, and the price was right. But the more times I handwash my car, the more I realise the paint work on my car is actually horrendous. I don't know who the...
