allroad V6 TDI slow build

**anthony--t** · 06-06-2016, 11:16 PM

tune must've worked well if the gearbox couldn't handle all the new powers from the big turbo!

I have to come pick your brain soon so I can fix some little bits on my new rig

So I thought I might update this thread with some small updates...
Since the transmission failed and I had it rebuilt, I started thinking about getting a newer allroad.
Well, in the end I found a c6 2008 3.0 TDI allroad with just over 100k km on it with all the options... So we bought it.
I kind of decided then to sell the old one, but mo interest forthcoming after 6 weeks or sp, decoded to try and sell my golf instead.
The golf took basically a day to sell.
So now we have 2 allroads.

Very nice mate, I always look at those 3.0's with quite some envy, I could happily handle owning one!

Why didn't your modified one get any serious offers, I wonder?.
Too many ks I assume, which is actually, in diesel terms, not all that significant.
So people spend big bucks on the diesel option for their economy but trade them before it has paid its way........doesn't make sense to me.

That logic doesnt really hold for this end of the market though ryeman... The c5 diesel allroad was the cheapest, base engine. And the 3.0TDI is the only c6 allroad sold in Australia.
I dodnt just not get amy serious offers... I got No offers at all. Not even an enquiry.
Buy my mk5 TDI, with 280,000km, sold no problem

Greg, if you javent driven a 3.0 TDI, go do it.
If i was going to buy again, I moght go for tje facelift model (2009+) because theu have slightly more power, but mainly because they jave a 60\40 torque split rather than 50\50
