Too new to say, only been around for two years. Big up date on 140ps engine for EURO6, manifold in head design and completely different emissions hardware.using SCR and AdBlue My guess is its it will be a lot better.

How much money do you intend on spending and what sort of usage will it see, lots of short local runs or will it be mostly distance driving?

Skoda's version of the Euro 6 2.0TDI 150 doesn't use Adblue/SCR, it still uses LNT - my son's recently purchased 2016 Octavia Estate doesn't anyway.

Thats interesting. The Euro 6 version of the Sharan uses a SCR, Im wondering if its the same as the later Euro 5 where SRCs were only used in the bigger heavier cars. Some of the early Euro 6 cars have been getting software updates but I've not heared any complaints about them.

The Euro 6 version of the 150 PS in the Superb does not use ad blue if the car is a manual hatch. But I am sure I have read on the forum that some DSG's, 4 X 4's and estates use ad blue.

The 190 PS model uses ad blue in all types.

Just had a look at this. There is Euro 6 and Euro 6 heavy duty, the difference is based on the vehicle inertia and frontal area, the later uses SRC the former does not.

It makes sense as the LNT looses it effectiveness at high loads and thats where the SRC is at its most effective.

Euro 6 Heavy Duty relates to trucks - all passenger cars up to 3500kg MAW have the same "g/km" limits - but of course bigger, heavier cars, burn more fuel making it harder to meet those limits.

Skid says all the 190ps use SCR. This makes me think that its calculated on inertia forces rather than inertia, the more powerfull engine can generate greater loads than less powerfull.
