I POSTED THIS QUESTION PREVIOUSLY, BUT THINK I MAY GET MORE RESPONSE IN THIS SECTION. THANK YOU
I am thinking of buying the new estate. I know nothing about cars.
The mechanic who services my current Fiesta told me several years ago that the Golf petrol engines have timing problems, and can be a lot of expensive trouble; but that the diesel engines are excellent.
But I have started reading motoring forums, and most of the engine complaints seem to relate to diesel tubo and cold running problems.
I only do approx 12,000 miles so I assume a petrol would make more sense; have these engines improved????
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
