Blew me first one up just short of 200k - my own fault,bad rad covered in crap.Had a 200tdi that was about 240k and still going strong but blew up the transfer box and the body melted.Dont recall the others but current ones 98 300tdi @ 96k and 1997 300tdi japanese reimport at 60 something.

People say that the 200 will go round the clock a couple of times if you watch out for the No4 cyls valve gear.

I reckon theres a lot to be said for fitting an hour counter like on industrial engines.

My 93 is just past 144K. Original clutch, second head gasket and just had it's 3 timing belt at 143K. Starts first time every time all weathers, even the air-con has not been touched. Have to say it's been the most reliable car I've ever had.

All Jap reimports come with KM clocks so get changed to new clocks as part of their repatriation.

There should be paperwork somewhere (possibly the Jap service history) that says how many KM's it did before coming home.

My 300 had done 15000 KM in Japan, and has done 50000 miles since returning so approx 60000 miles all in.

170k on a 3.9. @ 10 mpg. That's seventeen thousand gallons. Guessing at an average of £3 a gallon that's £51k on fuel. Ouch

My 96 300 tdi has done more than 300,000 m - one replacement cylinder head, couple of radiators, three hundred thousand miles on original clutch, just replaced alongside second hand gear box, just replaced water pump this week - what a sod - without removing fan and rounded two stud heads, managed to fit a smaller serpentine belt by accident and then discovered they make two sizes, but it stayin on till it wears out, roof lining sagging, windows rattle and sometimes drop down, but it's still in better condition than the wife.
