I have the feeling the 2.0 PD140 had a DPF on the Audi but could depend on model year (2006 ish onwards?).

 

In terms of the V6 diesels. The 2.5 definitely didn't have a DPF but I hear a lot of problems with this engine.

 

The 3.0 TDI is the better engine but again they did introduce a DPF around the same year.

So a quick google suggests that the more power 230bhp version (from March 06) has a DPF but the older 201bhp version does not.

 

The only other consideration then is the gearbox. On a 2005/2006 ish car it is likely to have the "multitronic" gearbox... which is just a big no! They are plagued with problems. When searching for a convertible we looked at Audi A4s and they all had the multitronic in and found a few very cheap cars described as having "gearbox problems".

 

Edit: Scrap that. The Quattros had a conventional 6 speed ZF made gearbox.

ZF box, possibly the best box in the world

Ah yes! Forgot about that issue too.

 

They have oil pumps made of chocolate.

 

I think your best bet is going to be an Octavia L&K 2.0 PD140.

 

Unless you really fancy a V6 TDI in which case an Audi 3.0 TDI (prior to 2006).

I've done a search and there aren't many 2.0 they are mainly 1.9s.

 

What's your budget though?

 

There's a nice one here:

But it's £8k.

8k seems a bit steep for that, but then again 80k miles... i was thinking 4-6 depending on spec. Xenons, Sunset glass, its ticking a lot of boxes. No sat nav which seems a shame but not unsummountable...

You're definitely right to go for an L&K. Most of the things that end up getting retrofitted and some which are really expensive like xenons as standard.

 

I take it you'd want a manual and not DSG?

 

This 09 is £5990

I dont know, the Leon is a DSG and is wonderful to drive. And after driving the Leon a manual just seem slike so much effort, then again a manual is more fun, so im not too bothered.

 

I did see this one, but it screams cigar smoking uncle theodore to me, dont know why. Mind you beggars... choosers.....
