500,000 miles - in a1.8t Jetta
« on: July 13, 2012, 11:24:04 pm »
Someone's probably posted about this before but: HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THIS??

http://media.vw.com/newsrelease.do;jsessionid=F4159FE3544C322616BB5370A2CD2AD6?&id=1042&allImage=1&teaser=half-million-mile-volkswagen-jetta-1.8t-shows-careful&mid=117

Just shows how long an engine will last if it's looked after, still on it's original clutch, engine & turbo  :notworthy:

The VW HQ techs were amazed at how little wear there is on the internals. . . .

we really are.  I don't know why.

 The first question people ask after how much is your car is how many miles!

Can strike longetivity off the benefits of diesel vs petrol  :grin:

It's interesting that the vw engineers believe it could do another 500k miles  :surprised:
