A question to the collective wisdom of this Forum.

I have from new a MY12 125TDI wagon with 62k. Full dealer maintenance with 90% BP Ultimate / Caltex Vortex use. 80% suburban driving with at least twice yearly country holidays (1000km round trip).

So far, no obvious problems except the erratic minor loss of coolant which VW have noted.

As this is our first VW and first diesel the questions are

1/ What common repair problems are there ?
2/ What is the average economic life of the car ?
3/ How many kms has your car done ?

With new emission systems added to the engine, it is my understanding that high kms are less likely.

I understand that 1/ & 2/ are highly variable, but a general consensus would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
