Who has done the most miles in their Mk6 GTI?
« on: 23 April 2014, 21:23 »
Having had my GTI for 21 months and really enjoyed driving and ownership, it came as a real shock to suffer the Timing Chain problem.

It took a month to get it resolved by VW (no charge as I had the warranty), but it has made me think a little harder if I am going to keep it 'forever'. It got me wondering who has the highest total mileage on their Mk6 GTI on this excellent forum, as I guess this is a maximum level of travel I could possibly expect in the future.

I will start off. My car has 45,000 miles to date on the clock. It is an Oct 2009 model.

Two Vancouvers replaced with white worm, EGR valve replaced at 45k due to oil leak from a seal and rusty boot struts replaced. Otherwise perfect well apart from the notchy gearbox VW just agreed with me but did nothing about it, has got worse over time although now I just don't care. Its littered with stone chips the front splitter is cracked (stone hit it) and I accidently scraped one of the wheels the other day (first time in 4 years was only mildly annoyed). Was going to buy a mk7 but decided the 16k cost of change was far too much and the mk6 has been so good. Run it into the ground springs to mind.

My GT is an Jan 2010. It's just short of 34,000 miles now. It had done 19,000 miles when I bought it just over 3 years ago.
