I am looking at a used TDI with around 60-80 thousand miles and was wondering what kind of maintenance cost goes along with owning a TDI compared to a little 4banger gas.???
Thanks,
Robert

$10/quart? What oil have you been using?mannytranny said:The VW will be more.
$10/qt oil changes, not to mention all of the little things that just might go wrong....
ie....$100 battery, alternator pulley (2003 MY), serp belt tensioner, $30/ea glow plugs, wheel bearings, bushings, etc.
So you will be putting a decent bit of your fuel $$ savings back into the car, but at the end of the day you still have a car that is much, much more rewarding to drive than a run of the mill gas car.
No free lunch!
What year, model, transmission are you looking at. TB change depends on year and sometimes transmission. Some years auto are to be avoided. Be more specific! What mainteance has been done on it?DmaxDouglass said:I am looking at a used TDI with around 60-80 thousand miles and was wondering what kind of maintenance cost goes along with owning a TDI compared to a little 4banger gas.???
