Also my problems with engine knocking, tapping seem to be fixed by a replacement high pressure pump suction control valve. 6mths to sort ...

Found on vw forum same old issues going around
"I've found if you avoid the sub 1800rpm range during normal driving, and make sure to get some open road / flowing driving in during the week, you raise the exhaust temps sufficiently to burn off the soot trapped, you rarely notice any regens happening. If you drive in start stop traffic, do lots o...

12000 unblemished Km
Never a shudder or a flicking light or any issue whatsoever touch wood. 2010 ( feb build I think) outback diesel in Perth. The engine runs and spins up like a sewing machine I can't fault it. It certainly seems to do a lot of thinking ie a lot of background CPU action but when it's on song it remind...
