Hi B7 people, I currently have a b6 2.0 petrol. Nothing fancy, but it's been a great reliable car, lovely to drive of course but I want something a bit more exciting as I don't get out on the motorbike so much these days since my son was born.
So I've been looking at a 2005 b7 2.0tfsi s line with 75k on the clock, but I've been put off by recent talk of these engines failing due to chain, oil pump failure and oil starvation issues by around 80k.
Just wonder if you guys can give me any idea of how common these issues are - if it's only one in a hundred cars I can probably handle those odds, but if it's worse than that...
Also, while I do a lot of 30 min to 2 hour journeys I also do a lot of shorter ones, like one mile to work if it's ******* it down, or a trip to the supermarket for the weekly shop. I understand that these kind of journeys can make the problems worse.
All opinions greatly received...
