My gti that I have owned from ordering 11 years ago is still tight and has 140k miles. I have serviced it myself since she was 3 years old. Replaced thermostat 6 years ago still all good now. Had an intake manifold go also but I think it was only a sensor on the thermostat as someone here pointed out after I had changed the whole unit. Have recently replaced  the front shocks and springs when front spring cracked. Car has been bulletproof otherwise and will never part with it. I have a 530d now that does all the hard commuter miles so my gti miles are now all smiles.

Nice.
A few k left in mine then.


Had a mk 8 1.5l  as a courtesy car when mine was in for a service. Too much pointless and annoying tech for me. Glad to get mine back.

Quite rapid though.
