Hello, since December 2009 I drive a V10 TDI, year 2004, at that time 138Tkm, today 183Tkm. Because I know how insecure buyers are, I would like to describe briefly my experiences: 1. The purchase The car was bought from the VW dealer incl. used car warranty. From 100Tkm the warranty covers only 40% of the material costs and 100% labor costs. After all: the guarantee gave me a certain security. And the purchase price was absolutely within the scope (also in comparison with private sale). 2. Zuve The car is driven a lot (45000 km in 8 months) and is always outdoors. Reliability: 100%. Not the least failure. 3. Fuel costs I often drive in the professional traffic highway; lawn is not possible there. If the opportunity arises, I drive even once until the rules. Often, however, I enjoy the gentle sliding. Consumption over the last 45T km: 10,2 l/100km. I am absolutely satisfied with that. 4. Comfort Without equal. e. I have (in the meantime) had all 4 wheel bearings replaced (guarantee; self cost approx. 400 EUR), which brought relief. The winter tyres (dunlop) are unpleasantly loud. Very quiet is the car never! 5. Cost I just had the 180 Tkm inspection done. The alone hit with 1000 EUR to book (there are also bearings of the gear holder replaced). In addition there were 2 brake discs in front, new brake blocks in front left and right, new brake blocks in the back left. The fun cost 2800 EUR Conclusion: I Ch doesn’t want to miss the car anymore and I’m glad to have decided to. Maintenance costs are moderate, if you don’t mind inspection costs. If you love the V10, you get a fantastic motorization, you have to take a higher soundscape. And only has a yellow badge! I promise myself of the engine a long durability, and would like to drive a few more 100Tkm. Many greetings
