So this happened last night.....

[kwistof]

Just joined the 200,000 mile club and I think it's a pretty exclusive place to be for an 8l S3

Now bring on 1/4 of a million for the next milestone

 

[daz-20vt]

200k and no dodgy pixels. Impressive!!

 

[Prawn]

Shed. Next stop, the breakers yard!

 

[daz-20vt]

How many miles have you done in it?

 

[CMcKenzie]

I'll be there in 60,000 miles

 

[Trig0r]

I like the ---MPG, driven hard or like a girl, your choice

 

[kwistof]

200k and no dodgy pixels. Impressive!!

Dodgy pixels were replaced nearly 2 years ago now dude lol

And 90,000 'gentle' miles with myself driving

Early morning run 1 - YouTube

 

[s3 Hoggy]

I'll be there in 130,000 miles

 

[kwistof]

Shed. Next stop, the breakers yard!

Next stop is actually - a tour of Wales, then a trip down to Le Mans and then a few hours thrashing her round Brands Hatch later on in the year.

I may have to stop via the breakers yard to collect some more parts though

 

[S3_DAVE]

Any major problems since you have had her engine/turbo/gearbox etc?

200k and still going strong ill be there in 76,000 miles

Ummm yeah lol..

Since I have had her....

Full OEM engine rebuild inc turbo/clutch
Replaced the gearbox for a second hand unit as the SMF blew that up!
Replaced the rear diff
Had a hit and run on my car which results in new body parts etc that I had to foot the bill for.

They are the major ones above just of the top of my head....plus I have everything in my sig done and so many other things replaced! lol

Would like to know if there are any others out there above 200k really....just to find out if I just either have an unlucky S3 with the amount I've had replaced or due to how hard she gets driven

 

[voorhees]

Jojo's S3 will be there.

Well his car will be,in 2090 running on a hydrogen based fuel driven by his great great grandkids.....thats going on his current miles per year

 

[daz-20vt]

Ill be there in 110k or 55 years on my current annual usage lol

 

[Prawn]

I passed 200k years ago Never looked back!

My car will never reach 200k, i doubt it'd hit 100k in my hands.

 

[Nilz]

Well done mate, thats some going!!

Ive only got another 38k till I get there.

Jo, forget about it mate, your car will never get there, well as you say not in your hands anyway.

And here's me worrying about buying one with over 100 000 miles...

 

[The Doctor]

Woooo! I took a pic of mine at 100k last August. 100k Only covered a few kmiles since then though...

 

[mattyboy199]

only 151k to go for me

 

[Vex182]

Why did the engine have to be rebuit for?

 

[dre_S3]

These engines do go on and on, good to know I have years of fun 140000 miles till I hit 200000

 

[kwistof]

Why did the engine have to be rebuit for?

The first time it was done by a previous owner at a very crap place (after googling the company name for reviews)

I personally had to get it rebuilt as the end of the spark plug became so hot it melted and decided to bounce around in my engine

The only mod I had at the time and I mean ONLY none OEM part was a forge split R that I ran for 7/8 months until this happened.

 

[00monkeyboy00]

219k and going strong.............. I think?
