Currently drive an Octavia vRS (petrol) but thinking about chopping it in for an auto 520D M Sport or SE. Recently moved place of work and spending more time in the car commuting which basically means idling burning fuel and going nowhere fast! So Stop / Start would look to be a bonus. Looking for something comfortable and economic but still a good turn of pace and a fun steer. I have got 2 kids (teenagers) so need something of a decent size.
Love the Octavia, bit concerned that returning to diesel might be a mistake (dpf failures etc). Previously owned a 2007 Saab 9-3 Tid (150) and also a 2002 Seat Toledo TDi. Always liked the fuel economy of diesel but never really connected with the narrow power band...
So what do I need to know about 520D? What are servicing costs like? What are common faults / failures? Are these really that economic?
Cheers.
