you will also (IMO of course) have trouble selling on a 100k + golf when/ if you want to sell it on, i had a quick look on Piston heads and for about 10k you can get half the miles and im sure you could haggle also

I wouldnt like to own a TFSI with 90,000 on the clock.

Why???

I had mine on a RR at 160.000km 200bhp bone stock, bought used with 140.000km on the clock and i have not had a hickup yet from the engine, still purs like a diesel  

Because as the TFSI gets older you hear about more and more big bill stories as they get to higher mileage and age.

Been on this forum/ moderator on GolfGTi  Mk5  forums for 3 years, and i could count on one Hand problems on high mileage motors.

Very unfounded statement poverty imo.

how many high mileage cars are on this forum?

Valve carbon deposit is a main culprit on high mileage cars

Plus from my own experiences, the majority of people who have trouble with their cars during the warranty period will not post up on the open forum about their issues. Its always usually kept to PM's.

100k is not a lot to be honest, it was 20 years ago but not on a modern engine, agree on price though,  too much.

I disagree when it comes to direct injection engines. Just look at the old direct injection mitsu carismas. All these latest technologies that are meant to be super efficient will not last as long as the old stuff. Same goes for boilers, the condensing ones will be alot more trouble that the old tried and tested units of the past.

I was always under the impression Vw's lasted forever.

86,000 miles is alot yes.

But I thought these where build to last.  My clio 182 done 96,000 miles from factory and never missed a beat.  And its still going strong now.

Not just this forum like i said, GolfGTi.co.uk, much much longer then this new forum.

Only ones ive heard of experiancing problems are ones that have been very highly tuned. But i wont go down that road incase your current cars engine gets drawn as an example of that.

Again.. if the TFSi was such a bad engine, that all car makers would be ditching it, and not still producing it.
I still dont agree with you saying people would rather Pm then not make it known in the public domain. Thats what these forums are all about.

agree to disagree poverty, have had cars with more than 100k with no probs. as its a newish car makes it even less of a problem as its not just doing 10 miles a day so the engine is warm. i know people who cover 100k in 2 years.

True to say that the majority of cars with issues are modded ones, however on SCN everything is done by PM due to SEAT UK frequenting the site. Two people have been stung because of this.

The car makers will improve their products, they wont ditch a design that is allowing them to meet the regs, but its because of these regs they ahve to meet that the engines will need more TLC. VAG have even commented about valves and the effects of carbon deposits in their patents. The matter of the fact is all the modern engines today which feature direct injection will have carbon deposit issues, and if you look at the US forums you can see of plenty of cases from bmw to audi etc
