Cars that used the VW 1.9TDi ALH engine

Do you know how to use a search engine?

I used to have an 2003 Audi A6 1.9 TDI, engine designation AZF ( it had a sister desnigation engine too, but I have forgotten the exact letters) both were maybe the best TDI engines that they ever built. I have a file somewhere with complete info on all these engines, but can't find it at the moment. But if you google " Audi 1.9 TDI engines known faults" you will get a pretty good idea of what is what, If I find my file, I'll post it here.

If it's the AWX ( or the AVF) They are flaking engines, either of them, The AVF 130 BHP ( sport ) 6 speed that was in mine, was a fantastic car. I happened to meet the previous owner, who told me that the only way he ever parted with the car was because his (ex) wife got it as part of the divorce settlement. He said that it was the thing he missed most from the marriage !!!
