Hi Guys,

Looking for a new load lugger, friend recommend A6 Estate. Noticed that there is a 1.9 and a 2.5, in my price range and wondered which was the better choice. Influencing factors are mpg and reliability.

Thoughts?

1.9tdi in 130bhp mode would be my choice for your requirements. If you can go for a facelift post 2002, i had an 02 1.8T avant for 4 years. Brilliant family load lugger.

I have only seen 1.9's in 110. 130BHP sounds more like it. Most I have seen seem to be in the 99-01 range and 110's.

go for the 1.9,
i had a 99 reg a6 avant and it would do over 55 mpg
on a run, it was a 110 but went well,
had a 2.5 allroad and it was crap on fuel,
2,5s sound like a trackor engine,
