99% of mk2s must have done over 100k miles and you're wondering if it will do 340 !

i just did a 600 mile round trip in mine, and it was fine, like everyone else has said, it depends on the condition of your car. if you drive it hard a lot and it doesent break, then a 300 mile journey should be fine.
common sense?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

There is also a switch under the spare wheel in the boot, normally it is set to 35 mpg - but you can flick it to 150mpg - but don't tell anyone, its a VW secret.
