I assume that's the 2.0tdi 140 engine???? If so then it's probably pretty much the Audi A4 of a few years ago in which case it's a decent towcar IMHO providing of course the weights are ok.

Is that the same 2L engine that have oil pump failures in the Audi cars?

If it is then change the oil more often and use proper stuff. Dont skimp on the oil.
