Be careful if you start looking at T4 TDI. The timing belt has to be changed every 120,000km and it costs over $2000 and takes two days, according to my dealer. This was one of the reasons I sold mine at 105,000km. I also heard that the clutch goes at around 100k although mine seemed OK.
Mine also had to have the turbo replaced at 94,000km, just inside the 100,000km warranty, luckily. Others might not be so lucky and have to pay for it themselves. There may have been a fault with the 2004 turbos because the new turbo was a different part number.
You would easily save the extra service costs over a petrol in fuel savings because the fuel consumption is so good on the TDI. I got better than 8l/100km every tank, compared with around 12 for my T5 128kw auto.
hey guys i just returned from a weekend blast down into vic did 2000kms in 2 and a half days, on the trip up from geelong to albury i got an amazing 8.9l per hundred. this it from a 2lt petrol manual '93. 3 ppl and a motorbike in the car. the 2l petrols are very good on fuel. the other tank i got 9.1l per 100.
both outstanding figures. and the whole time i was at the speed limit.
