Hi everyone,
I have previously owned (for a short period of time) a Leon ST TDI 150 which I traded in for a Leon 5 door hatch TDI 184.
This was a pretty high mileage car that I needed for my commute and I got it because it seemed like such good value for money even with the high mileage. I've had it about 18 months and the clock has since gone from 89k to 115k.
I know diesels are usually pretty strong but I also know that newer engines seem to be less reliable long term.
How reliable is the TDI 184 to keep long term and take it to an even higher mileage?
I've been thinking about modifying it however I don't want to spend money on the suspension only for the engine to go bang a few months down the line.
