Something to be aware of with the 2010-on 5-cylinder diesels is that they (along with most diesels of that era) use a Bosch CP4 high pressure diesel pump, which is prone to grenading itself with very expensive results if starved of fuel. It's not likely...but...extremely expensive if it happens...so...
1) Get the fuel filter changed on time (40k miles, I think) 2) Make sure the fuel system is bled extensively when it's changed 3) Don't run it out of fuel 4) Don't put petrol in it. If you're sensible, you'll be fine. But I was not sensible...and the bill (well into four figures just for parts) still makes me wince. cheers James
