I have owned A 2003 A4 130tdi pd for the last seven years.
The pd engine is IMHO simply brilliant and has covered 167k miles.
I love the low end torque which I missed when I bought a mk6 Golf and the fuel economy is simply brilliant.
The engine has had no issues except for a cam belt change which involves the whole front of the car coming off, and can be difficult to re align.
Most problems have been ancillaries such as air con compressor which will cost around £1000 to fix and virtually writes the car off as it gets so warm during the summer months , front suspension joints, Alb sensors and heater control modules.
Such a great car, which I can totally rely on , eats motorway miles but without the heating , air con not working makes it a write off unfortunately.
