It is the stop start that kills it, planning on going down to the Alps this weekend and try some of the mountain passes before they close for the winter, I'll see what the mpg is like after climbing to 2700m I was in the same business, I done the survey for the cameras in St. Hellier for Thorn Security back in the 90s. now i live in a country that dosnt use CCTV evidence in court. I've retired from that and now am the evil landlord and it is time for some evictions tomorrow Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh Clan Cameron |

TDV8....it's only fractionally slower than a SC. Hold its value better than a SC. Mpg wise with the TDV8, if you drive like a Nun, which you are unlikely to do after the first 500 miles of gentle running in, then 26 - 30 is acheivable. The problem is after that when you realise what fun you can have with a diesel.... It will fall to more like 18 - 25. Which is heaps better than an SC with 8 - 12 mpg on a good day with a following wind and downhill As for slow pick up on take off from sandstill. I find if you slip it over into sport mode its not a problem Having had a TDV6 as well, it is heaps better than a TDV6 even when chipped. TDV6 - gone TDV8 - gone Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10 |

Another consideration is the cost of service. The Brembo brakes can be very costly to service. I'm not sure what's on the TDV8, but here in Canada, the SC has Brembo, and the HSE doesn't (the Turbo Diesels are not available here). My dealer laid out clearly what I can expect in service between the SC and HSE.
