My 2.5Tdi quattro has covered 147k and still going strong (touch wood). At a recent MOT the emissions were next to none and i'm really pleased with the car.
So i'm wondering.... how many miles will i get out of the car given that i'm driving 30k+ a year? I look after the car - change the oil every 6-8k and regularly service it with other items and i never drive it hard when its cold.
How long will the engine last?
How long will my Turbo last?
When is my clutch likely to need a change?
What will the effects of a remap (and the increased use of my right foot) be on the life of the engine and turbo etc. I'd like to get one but not if it puts the engine life etc in jeopardy.
Anyone whos interested post up the mileage of their diesel car, the engine type and any engine/turbo/clutch/major issues they've had.
