all the mechanics over here disagree - incl. the statistics about failures. modern VWs, BMWs, Audis, etc. all have more issues with their advanced diesel models. talk to mechanics and they have a list of engines to avoid. part of the reason are the new emission standards, leading to ever higher injection pressure and higher temperatures. your counterpoints seem strange, of course all modern diesels have turbos. i am not talking about the TDIs of yore, my 2004 volvo D5 engine is awesome. it's the post 2008 generation that has started the issue trend. common rail engines, over-engineered to the brim.
