    The problem is that most if not all of the "4x4" shops do not understand the TSI, I have a VW specialist that very quickly realized/already knew it was just an Amarok body with a MK6 GTI engine and has treated it as such for the last 10 years. No issues with any maintenance etc ever. You essentially have to deal with Amarok body issues and then deal with 2.0TSI engines separately and those "4x4" shops who mostly could not find 1 end of a petrol engine from the other, just don't get it.

    In reality, the TSI is more powerful and lighter on fuel in day-to-day use than a normal TDI and can actually overtake like/better a V6 diesel on the highway ....

    It's a pity you had to resort to settling for less, big developments in the Amarok TSI world on the horizon, I just need the time to dedicate to the project, working full time AND other projects makes it hard Perhaps it would be good to focus on 1 at a time LOL
