how many miles has your mk3 done?
« on: 26 December 2012, 20:48 »
So how many miles will a golf engine take before it trully dies? I saw my mates today its done 195,240 miles. But I've seen one at 230,000 before. I know the engines are meant to be bulletproof mind, discuss?

My 2.0 - 2E had done 236.346 miles on the clock when scrapped.
Engine was still running smooth but car itself was a bit rusty, would have needed new front suspension and MOTing for registration in the UK...

Am sure engine would have been good for 300k miles... Unless you utterly abuse the "large" 4 cylinder block engines in a Mk3 you can't break em...
