Hey guys I'm having my TDI bought back from VW and was think of a cruze to replace it. I currently do a 220 mile round trip everyday and was wondering what would best year to look at and what modifications can be done like DPF deletes and tunes. Tanks in advance for any help
I had a VW TDI and went to Cruze Diesel to replace it back in late 2015. I picked up a second Cruze Diesel used earlier this year. It's a great car. There are some things to know, this forum has excellent information, whether you keep the emmisions or not. The only potential concern seems to be the emmisions, but not everyone has issues. With your high mileage you'd likely have few issues, but the recent delete thread has people saying the get an additional 4-5 MPG, for you that would add up to real savings fast. There is a thread on DIY, and transmission fluid change, definitely do that if you buy one, it's easy, real easy compared to the VW DSG fluid change, and 40-50 k miles, despite it being "lifetime" seems about right. Good luck hunting. There is minimal information on the new 1.6 Engine, it will likely have even better mpg, but at a cost of power and torque.
