Stay away.
The fuel pumps are prone to failure, when one does, all the shit from whichever fails, takes out EVERYTHING. In-tank pump, pressure pump, & all injectors. All the crap gets distributed throughout & returned to the tank, so it too gets contaminated.
The last several I have had to repair, it was cheaper to buy a junkyard engine & strip the pump & injectors out of it than source them from the dealer.
DPFs clog, which fouls the cat… there’s another $5,000-$7,000…
If it hasn’t been back to the dealer for anything, the moment it does, it gets reflashed & it will lose 8-10 mpg.

Thanks for heads-up. I hadn't bought it then. They are mainly come Euro 5 as well, it's going to be a holistic problem. ID4 maybe... |

| What I would say I 100% love in this car is a gearbox, which operates really smoothly. Thanks for double clutch and dual mass flywheel. |

Wait until that dmf or the mechatronic unit take a shit.

The last what I had made before I sold it was a dmf replacement. It have been stood 100K miles. That was a quite expensive repair. But mechatronic should last 200K miles without getting any worse, according to dealership mechanic. |

While it may last to 200,000 miles, the problem that I’m seeing now is that the parts are being dropped by the manufacturer by the time many are experiencing failure.
The 2011 mentioned at the beginning of the thread is already older than the 10 years that the manufacturer are federally required to keep parts for.
