Mileage
« on: 22 January 2011, 17:08 »
Well i dont frequent this lovely part of the mk4 section much but i have a question to ask so here i am  :smiley:

I am looking at Seat leon cupra/fr diesels and all the ones in my price range have galactic mileage.. I was wondering what these engines where good for the (ARL 150) I dont mind buying a high mileage motor but i dont one with 150+ k on the clock for it to then have to have a rebuild at 170k if you get what i mean ??

Many thanks in advance

Clutch and Duel Mass Flywheel (DMF)

Over that nothing over what you look for in a 1.8t, water pump, timing belt and so on.

Mine isn't the PD (AHF) but I bought mine with 150K on the clock and it now has 214K!
Engine is fine, relaible, pulls well (for a 110 :wink:) and easily passes the emissions test on the MOT.

The clutch made it to 200K, a few bushes and normal wear and tear items are starting to need replacement.

Personally I wouldn't be put off purchasing a high mileage one :wink:

Mines on 138k now, engine pulls like a train, uses no oil/water, has been remapped and gets some hard driving, my dmf needs doing soon though but thats just general wear and tear, The motor looks nice, I also wouldnt be put off by the high millage either tbh, not if the price is right.
