    For the OP,if you can't do repairs yourself,and want to risk possibly an engine failure,then it is all a very expensive lottery as Ian has said.

    The D4 can end up costing more than the vehicle is worth in repairs,over a short period of time.

    We had one for almost ten years,so i know how they roll.

    Good luck with your decision.
    Don't fit in the same hole as a 3.0? Gearbox compatibility issues?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Yes you can swap a 2.7L long with a failed 3L and its accessories and it works fine. It has been done a few times. You end up with a 2.7 TT engine so a little less grunt but they say not too notice generally speaking.

    I've thought about it a lot. I love my D3, but the D4 has all sorts of extra nice stuff. The problem is getting a D4 with 3 pedals. They don't exist except as a base model industrial in the UK.
