DPF problems on VW Golf 1.6 TDI
I am thinking of buying a new Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI. The problem is I do very low mileage (approx. 5000 miles per year). One Volkswagen salesman told me I wouldn't have problems with the DPF and the DMF but another said I would.Who do I believe? Are there problems with Volkswagen diesels and low mileage?
