Title: 1.4 TDI Polo's
Post by: justalex81 on 01 June 2012, 20:51

How many miles is the engine good for?

looking to get the missus one and get rid of the peugeot 206 death wagon.

have been looking on egay and autothiefer but there doesn't seem to be many about. Don't want to fork out more than 3k really.

Can't remember how many miles the blue forum whore had done, but I think it was well into six figures.

Ran faultlessly, the odd indiscretion aside with less/more careful owners than me.

Mine's on just under 110 and runs flawlessly. Original gearbox is still spot on too :) (2001 6n2 1.4 tdi)

what do you reckon on this? is it worth the money considering it's barely run in?

i noticed that the front bumper on the passenger side doesn't line up with the arch. i'll ask them about that

but to be fair, hows about a mini GOLF with the facelifted one

all same budget or less, thats a quick search and IMHO better cars than the one you chose, which the only good thing Ican see you think is good is the low miles  :smiley:

the 1.4tdi is enough. economy is key here as she's just taken a new job which involves a 60 mile a day commute.

it'll probably get a tweak anyway. to be honest 3.5k is more than i wanted to spend. it was only cause the mileage was so low that it raised my eyebrow. i could spend that much but i don't want to  :grin:

cheers for the suggestions chuff.

i was looking around the 2.5k mark. 2002 onwards. her commute is a mixed bag of motorway, country lane and town driving.

Derp.  No good linking to the advert for the car you bought - it gets taken down because you bought the car.
