Hi Folks,
Apologies if these questions have been asked before, but I'd like some advice on the Q3.Please point me in the right direction if they have been answered already.
I'm looking at buying a new car.... These are my requirements
I want an SUV because I like the I higher ride heightI will on occasion need to tow a horse trailer which weighs around 1500kg (loaded)The car will be doing about 10,000 miles per year which is going to be mainly short trips of 5-10 miles with a 180 mile motorway round trip every couple of weeks.
I test drove a 2.0tdi FWD (I don't really need 4WD as I am very rarely off road)I loved the car and thought it drove well, but I'm really torn about whether to buy one or not.
The reason I am torn is becauseI'm concerned about whether I'm storing up trouble with the DPF and EGR valves and all sort of other things getting sooted up because I'm not doing enough miles. (I've had a bad experience with a Vauxhall Diesel in the past)
Now on to the point.....
>>What is the experience of this group on the use of Q3 diesels for short urban journeys?>>Are there any known faults with the Q3 or models I should steer away from?
Thanks in advance for your comments
