Can anyone tell me the reliability of this engine? i'm looking to buy a c8 2019 audi a7 3.0 diesel.

will it do badly in a mix of motorway and town driving?

lots of country roads near me, but also have to do motorway trips a couple of times a week. (50 mile round trips)

are there frequent problems with this engine? i've never driven a diesel before! buying from an audi main dealer, full service history, it has 30,000 miles on the clock.

any checks i need to do when i go to see it? or questions i need to ask?


thank you in advance!
 
I've had a 2018 3.0 TDI 286 from 40k, now on 140K and hasn't missed a beat. When you go to check it look out for chain rattle and camshaft rattle, I haven't experienced either of these issues but they can occur. Also some reports of the alternator failing (48V system). But other than that its a solid car.
