[Gordz]

im well proud of mine now i didnt even consider seats. Its a 2000 1.9tdi se with only 120k on the clock, fsh and all that. im getting 57mpg round town dont know if thats the remap best part only paid 1700

Got yourself bit of a bargain there!

 

[grannontdi]

Im happy to see people with more miles then me! i can now say i only have 120k on the clock, normally when i told people they would alwasy worry me by tellin me it was alot of miles! fingers crosd i reach the 300k!

 

[andy_lang]

OMG!! Love it! I too have a "low milage cupra" just hit 100k and been getting worried! I do a fair amount of track days but look after it & service it all the time. But sod that, lets rock it to 300!

Good effort lads!

Great going with that mileage! This thread makes me feel better!

Our 53 plate TDI has just done 124k and is the best car that we've owned. It has got some minor cosmetic war wounds (trolley dings, etc), but with a remap, filter and regular oil/filter changes it flies!

Roll on 200k!

Getting quite excited myself as my 02 Tdi is currently on 299,460 - my next fill of diesel will take me through the 300K barrier. It's still giving mid-50s mpg, although that got up to 60+ recently when a leaky rad prompted me to keep the revs down for a couple of weeks.

Apart from the leaky rad, which is now fixed, I also had to fit a new exhaust last October. MOT is due in April.

Edited to add : my air-con also broke after a couple of years and I had to pay an independent to fix it.

Edited again to add : I've just noticed that I've been a member since I bought the car but have only posted 6 times... :-(

AJ.

300k..!! Are you a taxi driver or courier?? lol

Respect to you though and your LEON

This is so awesome to hear that it stills goes like stink at that mileage and its only a testiment to the 1.8T its a bulletproof lump if oil changes are carried out with good quality fully synthetic oil, I hope mine chugs along for that long.

Id just keep an eye on the cam belt and get a reputable vw/audi specialist who you can trust to give her a good look over a good inspection, When was the water pump and coolant last done, Last cambelt job i guess?

170.000!!!!!! Awesome!

 

[Captain Cupra]

Ive only got 52.000 so far!!! lol

 

[Captain Cupra]

Just replaced all 4 coilpacks tho only one was dud but thought it would be rude to the old girl to just do one. Sweet as a Nut!!!

 

[MarkWales]

will fail first

Service due so could ask the guy to check in advance of catastrophe

Cam belt is every 60k yes?

petrol or diesel?

and which type

I had a 1997 1.9TDI Audi A4 last and sold it on 276,000 Miles of which I did 90 in 3 years

sold it to a mate still runs sweet as a nut

my 03 1.8t has done 150,000 now and is still going strong as ever, easily out pulls lesser maintained lower millage models. had a few niggles but it has all been normal wearing parts/problems, for example clutch pedal + slave, rear wishbone bushes etc. it alsways gets serviced correctly and let to warm up and cool down, but by god does it get spanked when its to operating temp!! stage two coming before christmas!!!
