I'd consider that as a replacement for the JSW, when that time comes. I think I still have about 18 months on the extended warranty.

They don't look much more complicated than the normal single turbo TDI. Obviously there's some differences and whatnot. There's a few people running CUAA long block with 2260 type turbos on them.one of a kind wundermachine, If the V6 TDI were complicated can't imagin the biturbo units are any simpler. Closest thing on the market these days is prob the new A6 Avant (RS6?) or V90, sadly both with the wrong type of fuel.

I can't imagine the cost of breaking anything and having replacements shipped over during Europe in war and inflationary crisis.
I love the idea. But the transverse AWD systems are weak.

I believe it was even announced as such in 2014 - coming to America w/ Diesel 2.0.

The dollar is very strong right now. Buying out of Europe isn't that bad.

I remember an article with VWoA CEO mentioning the Alltrack before dieselgate and he clearly stated no TDI was even thought of due to the no room for DEF system, wasn't even contemplated, nada.

Unless it's a VW wiring harness. You'd probably be waiting on that for quite some time.

Supply chain shortages. Weak haldex parts that don'tike real torque. Module programming for foreign modules and etc.
Should I continue?
I always thought it was weird diesel hybrids weren’t already a thing - best of both worlds. But I guess it’s likely due to the public perception of diesel being dirty “muddying” the clean image of hybrid technology.

They're saving that for more mileage requirements when that goes up they'll unleash disposable diesel IC hybrids that won't last.
interesting… makes sense too

I know a fellow in this forum with the name vwztips who put a 2.0 TDI in an AUDI Allroad.,

Yep a genius at that! That even made better MPG’s as well on highway over Q5.
