Ahh that explains it. You've just about run it in then lol. There's a guy on club polo who's got something like 800k miles on a 1.7 sdi.

Service it and it's got plenty left in the tank.

800,000? Wow! What's the highest mileage Lupo or Arosa on Club Lupo?

Probably you :) or Rich, he has a pretty high mileage SDI.

No, I'm actually going to do this one.

It has a somewhat comprehensive SH so I would presume it has had one in the past so I'm chancing it for a couple of months till it gets warmer.

85k miles? Nice. Like I said, barely run in. As I've pointed out before these engines are designed for high mileage, they come from VW's line of industrial engines. I imagine an SDI with oil changes done regularly enough would have no problem eclipsing a million miles.

This thread brings me so much joy/hope :D

@Paul, is she still going? Also, have you had to intervene gearbox/peddlebox wise in the space of 200k? Is there a 'Members Cars' thread?

Also, looking at these chaps last log-on dates it seems like most of them aren't around so much these days -_- Big shame as you lot (Particularly @Rich as he's local) are potential SDI brethren for me to share trials and tribulations with... At least @Skezza is still prevalent here ;)

Mine hit 160k last Friday, thankfully not my daily anymore, just had a nice VW service at work, cambelt and waterpump and fresh MOT with only front tyres getting low as an advisory....

^I think this thread ended up being mainly centered around SDI's for the most part chaps, hence my interest in skezza/Rich/Paul's experiences :P

Nice to hear about your high milage experiences none the less ;)
