2002 '02' A6 2.5 TDi SE Avant

I have to laugh when you see all the ads for A6 2.7Ts/A8 4.2s etc when they say 25+MPG. Absolute bollocks! I had my A6 2.7T for nearly three years, didn't drive it hard (didn't need to!) and averaged 20 MPG over that time. My dad's old A8 Sport was the same. Pretty new to the TDI game, but having reset my computer on my A6 1.9TDI since I began using it on Thursday, it is so far on 41 MPG average and rising. I would sooner have the 20 MPG and the 2.7T performance, but was not happy being dry bummed on the insurance at my age (39). The funny thing, everybody in work thinks the 1.9TDI looks nicer than the 2.7T

I certainly don't

A6 diesels are great, allround cars, and a lot better than A4s, in my opinion. Good luck with the sale. I should have bought yours instead of mine, and saved a few bob!
