DPF problems on VW Golf 1.6 TDI
I am thinking of buying a new Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI. The problem is I do very low mileage (approx. 5000 miles per year). One Volkswagen salesman told me I wouldn't have problems with the DPF and the DMF but another said I would.
Who do I believe? Are there problems with Volkswagen diesels and low mileage?

Don't buy a diesel. Buy a 1.2 TSI 105 or a 1.4 TSI 122 instead.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
