The Audi A6 C7, from what I know, came with two 2.0 TDI engines (besides the low power ones) - Pre-facelift 177HP version, code CGLC, EGR & DPF, no AdBlue with 6spd manual or Multitronic (CVT) - Facelift 190HP Ultra version, code CNHA, EGR, DPF and AdBlue with 6spd manual or S-Tronic (7spd auto) I'd like to have a little comparison between the engines, either from people working in the field or people who have owned any of these engines, mainly on the topic of reliability but also on the feel of the car as a whole. From what I read online, the 190hp version, while being a bit quicker, feels a bit more refined and the S-Tronic gets rid of the awkwardness of the CVT. On the other side, the 177hp version seems to be more reliable? Especially from the lack of AdBlue and being an older model, pre-dieselgate. I understand the 2.0 is quite weak for such a big and heavy car, but my only alternative is settling with an A4 2.0TDI which is really quite smaller than what I'd like. 3.0TDI means a more than 10x tax and insurance increase where I live. I'd love to hear your thoughts
