Tdi Mileage
« on: 22 May 2009, 18:57 »
I'm looking to buy a tdi for around 2000. Obviously with my budget they're all quite high mileage. Should I steer clear of anything above 130k? I've heard they're good engines but still its quite alot of miles.

114K

the only think to keep in mind is that the cam shaft on all the PD engines is very prone to fail, the TDI 150s are more common to fail, but they all suffer from this problem.
