Hi all, I owned an 02 plate TDI back in the day but sadly had to sell due to a financial crisis. Always looked back on it as one of my favourite ever cars. Now I’m looking at buying one again, mainly because I need a car and also for nostalgia. There are a couple of nice looking examples on eBay and they are 1.6 FSI models. I thought it would be good to have the extra horse power for camping trips with the kids when fully loaded (and maybe with a roof box), but after reading through the forum this evening it looks like the FSI has issues. I want to pick up a nice one and I don’t want to start blowing cash on repairs for a couple of years if possible, so should I be going for a TDI instead? I think the 1.4 petrol might be a bit under powered for my needs but I’m open minded on it. I’m only covering about 5K miles a year. Would appreciate some opinions.
thanks
