Apples and oranges ?
AFAIK, and I'm no expert, the 2001 was 1.9 turbo D, old style.
The 2012 is a 2.0 direct injection, with higher fuel pressures, a different fueling system prone to total destruction when contaminated, and believe you me, if you surf the TDi boards, it feels like a lot more than 1% failures ;-(
That's like saying my 911SC had 200K mi without any issues but I don't trust my
996's IMS. That would be a fair statement too, in my book.
