So I'm just about to set off to Mangos to change my 159 2.2JTS (which has been faultless for 4 years) for another 159.
Test drove an Audi, no thanks:cheese:
Only this one is powered by the devil's own fuel .... it's a 2.0JTDM!
Sorry and all that but 26mpg from the 2.2 is getting a bit dear, plus if I bought another petrol I'd be worried that in 4 years when I change it there won't be much demand for big petrol engined cars.
Fing is, I've never owned or really driven a diesel before. (Apart from a couple of hire cars briefly.)
So, would welcome any tips from diesel drivers. Any tips on driving style? Is so messy to fill up I will need overalls? And what about the DPF issue ... it's not going to be as bad as the 2.4. Is it?
Will welcome all tips and thoughts. (Though really it's just a thinly veiled way of telling everybody I'm getting a new, well newish, Alfa today.) Yippee
