How reliable are VW's 2L TDI engines?

Hello everyone,

I was thinking about getting a diesel VW and I've heard a lot of good things about the old 1.9L TDI engine and how reliable it was. But I don't know what's the reputation for the newer 2L TDI. Is it just as reliable as the old 1.9 or does it cause a lot of problems?

Thanks in advance.

 Volkswagen makes excellent diesel engines it's just all the plastic and electronic crap that breaks on them when they age


I see. Do the DSG transmissions that go with many of the modern diesels have problems or are they reliable with the manufacturer's maintenance intervals?

Run away from DSG transmissions.

Actually, just Google it..
