How many miles has your done??

If all goes to plan I'll be picking up my mk3 16v this evening with 130k on the clock, it has loads of history, but just how good are these engines???

 

i'm on 130k too

still a baby

 

I was a bit worried about the miles but have seen some with over 150k, only need it for around 400 miles a month (work and back) i have a diesel for the long runs!

 

as long as you traet it to regular oil changes it'll go forever

 

We picked one up at 130K and used it untill the body rotted through my neglect at 250K, it did about 750-1000 miles a week and got beaten regularly. Never used oil between services and didnt smoke!
Keep it on good oil and cambelts/tensioners and only cane it when the oil os hot, it should last well!

 

153,000 on the 1300 and still goin strong, well as strong as a 1300 can go.

 

mk3 16v here with 84k on the clock, it will be getting oil changes every 5,000 miles from this point onwards!

 

142k with no engine problems,

problems with everything else but not the engine

 

Check that he can't find the paperwork for the car icluding the V5 and service history, so looks like i won't be getting that one! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I've been looking for 2 weeks now it's driving me NUTS

 

My Mk2 8v had 186K on it when I took it off the road. Am confident that if i took a battery to her now she'd start

 

My MK2 8Valve has only got 116K on the clock. Bought with only 94K on it.
I've replaced everything except the exhaust now. Just done everything on the cooling system side today, I really mean everything.

 

130K is nothing on a well maintained ABF engine. Plenty of life to be had yet

 

My 16v has 216,000 on it

 

144,000 with lots of history

 

Bought mine with 70,000 on it in 97'

Now has 116,000

All history inc PDI sheet, sales invoice etc

I've even kept all the road tax etc over the years

 

mk dads mk3 1.9 turbo diesel has 220,000 miles, bit of rust here and there but flew through mot and drives like new. nothing gone wrong with it

 

mk2 16v with 194500 and still going strong

 

mk3 8v with 94k on it no rust ( German cars for u )

 

My 16v Corrado has just hit 229k and still going strong. Although it does have FSH with over 25 stamps in the book!

 

bought mine with 133k 2 yrs ago withfull history (8v)
shockers had popped
clutch went
head gasket went
cv gaiter split
changed oil pump for peice of mind - as 8v oil pumps are pants apparently

for a car thats just hit 148k not bad imo - now uses no oil what at all after doing steams while head was off.. and get oil change 4 times a year..
