    almost 146k on my mk2 16v... engine has only done about 10k though [:p]

    my previous ones had done 165k+, still got the engines, and im sure they'd still work, the cars were shoddy but the engines are usually fine

    its the gearboxes that give up...

    my abf is a 95 model with 151k miles. it is a stormer.

    i started a new job today. 28 mile commute (either way), mostly town, about 9 miles of DC. it averaged over 32mpg in either direction and my MFA is correct to about 0.1mpg, and my car pulls like a train, if i take it back to stealth, im certain that it will be nearly 180bhp now

    96 Mk3 GTi 8v... Just about to roll upto 112,000, got it with just shy of 104,000 on (but with mega service history).. Burns no oil, have never had to top it up since owning it, and I've done a fair number of 300+mile round trips upto the NE and back in her and she runs like a dream every time. Had no problems engine wise, just the usual dicky ABS sensors :thumbd: Barely run in IMO
