What kind of milage does the average 1.8gti do?
« on: 25 October 2006, 08:34 »
I was reading recently that the 1.8 gti engine is only good for 100,000 before a rebuild is required....is this correct? Also when does cambelt and other important requirements need attention?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah :laugh: :laugh: Sorry I couldn't resist that.

Where did you read that ? :shocked: If the car has been looked after then they can do 150 - 200k easy and more most of them have. Cambelt and tensioner should be changed every 40 - 50k at the latest I think.

an engines lifespan depends on how well its maintained and how the car is driven..
vw's are barely touched wen it comes to 100k.. :wink:
regular services and not thrashing it...can take the engine to over 200k like gib said.. :smiley:
