[4937Liam]

Leon FR+ 105k - love it no problems at all.

 

[rob - 73]

Just turned 80k. 53plate

The usual things replaced, working my way through bushes upgrades and now it's looking like it might be CV joints.

A part from that all is well...

[TheMagician]

by the sounds of it, these engines both petrol and diesel are quite reliable when it comes to the 100k mark? my focus is on 96k and probably going to die soon-ish, losing just over half the oil every month

 

[Chris****]

Mines on 58k! Still sounds like a tractor though

 

[Don Eason]

86k miles now on 02 plate 20vt cupra.. Still no real issues. *touches wood* just had the brake pad warning light come on but tbh was expecting it, did rear discs/pads last month so doing the front ones this week.. good timing too since seres has 40% off disc's/pads atm =O

Car still handles like a dream and still wooping the Mk4 GTI noobs at the lights =P

 

[big eck]

Just rolled onto 69k on an 04 plate. Still runs like new.

 

[super_electric]

mk1 2003 Ovni Yellow LCR. 94621 miles

 

[mty12345]

112k on an 01 plate LC, still runs great and never uses a drop of oil

 

[Sarah T]

Ibiza 1.6 tdi sport 60 plate done 4,157 Booom!

 

[LE04HDB]

113k 04 plate Cupra! With stage one map, drives like new!

 

[PSX]

114k 05 plate LCR:

Bought at 74k

• Replaced diverter valve
• Replaced failed coil pack
• Replaced gearbox speed sensor
• Stripped interior to remove and dry carpet + seal scuttle panel leak
• Replaced clutch master cylinder
• Replaced failed clutch slave cylinder (and clutch and dual mass flywheel - clutch OK, flywheel fair)
• Replaced failed auxiliary coolant pump
• Added NIME box (slow speed fans fix)
• Removed, oiled & refitted cabin blower motor
• Replaced split minor boost hoses
• Broken left-rear coil spring - replaced pair
• Mechanical handbrake on right-rear caliper broken - replaced caliper (possibly due to uneven re-adjustment on my part)

Consumables very very good - the brake discs lasted about 30k miles (expected much less). Brembo pads are excellent, though obviously wear quicker than the discs. Pirelli tyres lasted over 20k miles of enthusiastic driving.

Current niggles.. gearbox whine is creeping in on overrun, especially in 3rd. Also the doors are not letting water out as they should - this is threatening to cause condensation and ice on the inside as we approach winter once more. The hazard switch clicks rapidly on its own sometimes. The water pump is seeping at a rate needing a top-up every 3 months - new pump, cambelt and tensioners needed soon.

The car is fantastic though. Everything I replace makes me appreciate it more (though the doors issue and the clutch slave are really unnecessary weak points) - if the engine and turbo stay with me to the end I'll be a happy man. At the end of the day I ask myself: would ownership have been as much fun if everything worked 100% of the time? Roll on 200k..
