Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
I am a current owner of a 2006 A3 2.0TDi and am thinking of a small upgrade.
Being obsessed with the C6 Avant as far as being a school lad, I have recently driven an '06 Audi A6 Avant 2.7TDi Quattro I am honestly impressed with the car overall, although I feel like 2.7TDi lacks a punch, so I am on the hunt for a 3.0TDi. Due to my budget most of the options will be either bare-spec ok-ish mileage or well-loaded high-mileage, and I am leaning towards the latter (my current wee A3 is clocking at 238,000 so the big numbers won't be too big a deal haha)
How likely am I to encounter the usual things like bad injectors and timing chain rattle? Anything else I should be on the lookout for? Having read the forums and opinions, these V6s, with proper and regular maintenance should be capable of half a million no bother, it seems.
What is your ownership experience like?
Any opinions positive or negative will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much
Adam
