Hi we are writing an article for a well know Motoring forum/magazine and are collating issues around the general suitability of Euro3-4 2.7 V6 TDI cars for the urban cycle,we have had many examples of repeated EGR valve,Turbo and Clogged DPF faults,details of any repeated or unresolved issues would be appreciated,particularly interested in cars having issues that are predominately stuck in heavy urban cycle (IE around town use) and are failing repeatedly with the same issues.
Many Thanks.
G

some years ago ~I had a pre PDF S type and the Actuator failed on the Turbo and it meant a complete turbo change and it wasn't cheap.
