Replaced our Faithful A2 1.4 tdi with a 1.4 petrol that we saw on Autotrader website during lockdown.Always fancied one with sunroof/leather interior.Bought it unseen except for FaceTime video.but only 70 k with exceptional service history.Now we have added 1700 miles!problems so far Despite new tyres on back noticed some cracks on sidewall of front tyre.13 years old!! So new tyres on front!Wife went to get hair done and came back saying engine appeared “noisy”!She is very deaf so jumped in car and found clutch had gone.hence noisy engine!!!Had new clutch fitted and MOT.rang to check it had passed MOT,I should think so said the examiner,it’s like new!Had a few of these in but never one in this condition!,Car is obviously dearer to tax and less mpg.It is though quieter and smoother than the TDI but has nowhere near the torque of the TDI which we miss.Ideal version would be with chipped 90 TDI!! But the one we have will do as we are both in our mid 70’s!,
