I eventually decided that it will take a long, long time to make up the fuel savings even with diesel so I'll just drive it until it drops by the look of it. No major problems so far at 75k km apart from having to replace the intake manifold which appears to be a common problem due to the variable intake valve leaking.
Still can't go past that turbo rush though....
Just out of interest, how "ridiculous" was your trade in? What is in percentage terms of the original purchase price? All used car market is bad anyway, so don't expect 50-60%. 40-50% is more realistic. My Honda Euro, which suppose to have to resale, still only managed about 50% after 3 years, private sell, with 2 years factory warranty left, and only done 50k!Last edited by VAG newbie; 28-09-2012, 04:15 PM.
