As long as it has been looked after and serviced properly it will be fine.

I've got a friend with a MK4 TDI 130 with over 130k miles and that's running a hybrid turbo (235bhp) on its original clutch too. VW diesels are good for 200k + miles - even with a remap!

Thats nice to know I remapped my 1.9 Tdi bora With a revo re map and she was pushing out 325 ft ibs of torque knackered the clutch in three weeks and has to replace the flywheel and clutch with an upgraded Sachs clutch so not the cheapest upgrade just want a remapp but not wanting to have to fork out for new clutch etc.... Sugestions?

I had my mk5 done at viezu she had covered 125k when it had the map now on 135k and clutch is ok, there is a slight slip/judder at 1500rpm if im in the wrong gear but apart from that it was well worth it
