[s-cars] audi diesels

[DB]

Does anyone have any experience with the Audi 100 (92-95) diesel cars?

Here is an excerpt from Audiworld's article on the V12 diesel engine talking
about the history:

The first TDI engine in motoring history was introduced in the successor
model in 1989. The 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine offered 88 kW (120 bhp)
and 261 Nm of torque... In 1994, an expanded version was produced with 103
kW (140 bhp). The engine was also available with the option of four-wheel
drive – the first TDI quattro. At the same time, a new four-cylinder diesel
engine was introduced in the Audi 100 and Audi 80, the now legendary 1.9 TDI
with 66 kW (90 bhp). Towards the end of 1995, the four-cylinder achieved new
heights of 85 kW (115 bhp) through the use of pump-jet injection.

These seem to be fairly cheap in Germany (under 5000 Euros) so I think it
would make a nice daily car (especially with a transplanted UrS interior).
But are the Audi diesels as reliable as their VW brethren or Benz cousins?

Cheers,
