Are there problems with the Audi A6 2.0 TDI Multitronic?
I was going to buy a 2008 Audi A6 2.0 TDI Multitronic, but I have been told they give a lot of turbo and flywheel trouble. It has 143,000km on the clock. What's your opinion?
I had a 2004 E-Class Mercedes-Benz in Elegance spec, powered by a petrol engine. The Audi I think gives me the same comfort as the E-Class, but is diesel, which will be much cheaper to run. It is also in a low tax band, but I have heard bad reports from an owner regarding flywheels and the turbo. Mind you, the Mercedes was not without problems like the SRS, which cost me money.

Should I be worried about run flat tyres on my BMW?
I am buying a BMW 318d with run flat tyres and no room for a spare. The wheels are 18-inch alloy and the are low profile tyres. I'm nervous of getting a puncture while on the way to work and being stranded, then being charged a fortune to replace the tyre by a mobile tyre replacement company. I feel like replacing the run-flats with regular tyres and throwing a spare into the normal boot space. I do about 20,000 kilometres per year. What do you think?
