Hi Rhodgie, you’re right about the engine not even warmed up on a lot of my runs.
However, needing a large vehicle makes finding a replacement difficult.
I first considered a petrol Alhambra/Sharan, but I don’t think the 1.4 engine is going to give good mpg and there is a worry about it pulling a big vehicle.
There doesn’t seem to be any large hybrids available.
As I said , I didn’t have any problems with the Qashqai diesel or a ford diesel before that. Just this VW diesel.
I know Vinalspin has had poor mpg also in his Alhambra.
Regards, wonky
