One of the dealers I have talked to in the last few days said something along the lines of they have to ask people 20 questions now if they ask for a diesel to ensure they are driving an appropriate distance and all that. An interesting little tid bit.
DPF for particulates.
AdBlue for NOX emissions.
Totally different reason for fitting either.
Adblue is another expense as it has to be replenished at service intervals and it isn't cheap.
As I said... in Wheel COTY they mentioned on more than one occassion that the TDI was the weakest link in the Polo range. That it costs a significant amount more than a 1.2TSI would have me discounting it as an option.
Chipped 77 TSI... you know you want to :P
yes, yes I do.Quote:

TSI for the win :)
Nothing against diesel....but only in bigger cars/suvs/4x4s
Diesel fuel prices are higher than petrol and the amount that you "save per liter" with the TDI will take you YEARS to "work back"
Hope that makes sense :)
Your right, the payback it 120,000km+ and for many people that almost the lifetime of the car. Resale value is slightly improved so you get some back, but like you said unless you do lots and lots of KM it doesn't always make sense.
if all else fails, flip a coin :P
VW customer centre advised me if doing short runs 10km ish then buy TSi...took their advice and love it.Quote:
