A friend of mine is about to purchase a new Golf Diesel but he will be moving to Australia next year. He wants to take the car with him but he has been told that VW do not sell diesel cars in Australia because the fuel available is not the correct quality/grade. Anyone from Aus able to confirm or deny this?

Might be worth a post on www.tdiclub.com
AFAIK the PD130, PD150 are not sold outside Europe for the reason you mention.
Mind you, has he checked out the cost of having the car shipped

They have now purchased a 1.6 petrol and are talking about a whole container to ship all there stuff to Aus. The cost is very high but it is offset by not having to sell everything here at a fraction of what it is worth and buy new when they get there.

yes but remember due to the exchange rate theyd be better to sell stuff here and buy new in aus, as each pound is worth about 3 aus$ at the moment, so they should sell whatever they can to raise english pounds to convert to aus$ before they go
