« on: 29 December 2008, 12:49 »
looking at buying a gt tdi , but for the money i have to spend there all around 130k - 160k , how long should you expect to get out of one of these and how many miles they good for?
looking at a t reg with 158k for 1700 is this ok?

A friend of mine has a seat with the same engine PD - a taxi it has over 250000 on it  :shocked:

Still pulls like a train has had a new turbo and few bit and pieces obviously.

As long as is has service history and has been looked after it should be fine. :afro:

My 1.8T petrol has 128000 and is sweet as a nut  :wink:

Yeah, thats true.

Not to sure on PD engines but the 1.8T is pretty much bullet proof . . . . . . .

Mine is a T reg GT TDI (AHF engine, non PD). I bought it 3 years ago with 150000 miles on the clock.
It now has 199000 miles on it and, touch wood, I have had no problems. Just the normal servicing, clutch and exhaust downpipe which, frankly, you would have expected way before now anyway :smiley:
