200,000+ miles 200tdi
« on: November 22, 2011, 07:05:14 »
I know these engines are capable of serious mileage. Am looking at possibly dropping it in a 90.
Obviously how its been serviced seriously affects it. I can see it running this week, question is, is it worth a punt with that sort of mileage (200,000+) if it doesn't smoke like my N/A or save my cash up for a lower mileage one.

Doesn't matter now, sourced one with just over 100,000 mile.
Can't wait for tdi power again.

I wouldn't have gone for it anyway. It's all very well if you yourself put that sort of mileage on as you'd know the service history..... but 200miles it be waaaaaaaaaay over due for a lot to go wrong.
