My 2000 has 122k on it but it's been laid up for about 5 years.  Its back on the road now :) only thing needed doing was the wipers - completely seized. I'd been driving a company car - golf estate diesel bluemotion (no choice!) the thing I miss most is... The cup holders (and of course not having to worry about servicing etc)

These thread are funny.

They're about the HIGHEST mileage, and the OP started the bidding at 151k, as a result, nobody cares if you've done less, as it means you lose.

Sadly, I can't continue to add to the mileage total on my original engine, as I've recently replaced it with a forged lump, but I can safely say my original did more than anyone else in this thread  :cool:

I bought the car in 2006 on 124k, mapped to 190bhp at 130k in 2007, at 145k it was mapped to 230bhp / 290lbft, where it stayed right up until 210k, at 210k it was fitted with a ko4 hybrid, still 100% original inside, and it ran at 300bhp (double the factory power) happily up until 216 041 miles.

never had the head off once, sump came off once when I cracked it at 126k a few weeks after buying the car, but otherwise completely untouched since the Germans built it in 1998.

Quite simply, the greatest engine, ever  :laugh:

Realise this is an old thread but i have only joined as my friends have been asking me to see if my mileage is any good.

S Reg 1.8T (150bhp) just clocked 190250. Same engine and same turbo.

0 mods other than new head unit, everything else is standard.
