Some D4 questions...
With my eyes firmly set on a D4 4.2tdi I have a few questions if anyone can help?
Do all the D4s have the phone mirroring capability- inc 2010 models? Can you tell if a D4 has ACC from the outside (my current D3 has it and you can tell from the blocked off section, in the front grill, under the number plate). If a D4 is equipped with a factory tow bar, does it fully (electrically) protrude at the touch of a button? I have a 'wish list' option wise and I don't think I want a LWB version this time. I've had my D3 5 years now - a brilliant car that pulls like a train - hence the desire to stick with that powerful unit! Just feel the need to get something that is a bit newer and more advanced technology wise. In anyone's opinion, are there any 'must haves'? Cheers all.

Many thanks!
I have heard of corrosion on early models in a previous conversation.....which I find a bit of shock. It goes without saying that I'd get a car that has low ownership and in at least 'very good ' condition, besides looking for some nice 'toys', 😀.

My research suggested it could have been limited to a batch of early cars, there was a suggestion that a delay on the production line could have left them as bare metal for an extended period. I was very glad that it cost me nothing apart from inconvenience, but I guess lots were not or won’t be as lucky! Suggest a fine tooth comb, every panel! |

Sorry not to jack this thread. What are the 4.0tfsi engines like in real life mpg and running costs?

Which sounds fairly similar to the 4.2tdi, especially when unleaded is marginally cheaper. Sadly, not available outside of LWB and rare in any case....

I was under the impression that the D4 4.2 tdi can achieve 45mpg (ish) on a motorway run? My current D3 4.2 tdi always averages approx 40mpg on its Lancashire to Heathrow run?
Well, I was hoping this would be the case anyhoo......

But my overall average was probably early 30s MPG. |
