So I've recently acquired a '13 NMS/B7 w/ DSG and I'm a diesel noob aside from selling them at Ford some years ago. I financed it with ~42K on the clock from what seems like a reputable VW dealership out of MO. Anyway I want it to live a long and happy life so what other things can I do to ensure that other than regularly scheduled maintenance??
I'm going to treat a tank with some extreme diesel as I read that it can only be a good thing. I've also read that the quality of fuel is something to consider as well. Also a scanner (probably OBDeleven) cos the nearest VW dealership is 3 hours away. I'm going into this with a pre-emptive mindset and since I don't know what to expect from a TDI other than the characteristic diesel warble, what other sounds should I expect to come from the car AND which ones I shouldn't?? I know modern diesels go through an extra operation or two that's why I ask...
