Paul Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 1.7 SDi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 800,000? Wow! What's the highest mileage Lupo or Arosa on Club Lupo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) 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.

Paul Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I remember reading that Rich's SDi was on 234k. Wasn't he playing cambelt lottery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 still playing although it just sits there now as it has been replaced.It awaits the DVLA taking the plate off and then it can go to it's new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 What have you replaced the SDi with Rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 91k SDI.Cheaper, better and superior in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Looks nice. Low mileage too. Are you going to play cambelt lottery with this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 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.

EnglandSoul Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is good to see as got a blue SDi myself and its only on 85k so got a long way to go yet, need to change the cambelt at some point as no idea when it was last done so playing lottery with mine atm as well lol.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 That sounds like a wager to me Skezza! Only about 800,000 miles to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyEunos Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) On 17 February 2015 at 10:53 PM, Paul said: Today, this happened... This thread brings me so much joy/hope @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 Edited May 23, 2016 by JoeyEunos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure Rich is still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarosa Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've only got over 100,000 miles on my Arosa 1.0 (1999). Hope it gets to 200,000 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annavr6 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I hit 183,000 last week. 2003 TDI, I bought it on 24K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I hit 67,000 at the weekend. Missed the 66,666.6, which I was hoping to catch, as I was having way too much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 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....

JoeyEunos Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) ^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 Nice to hear about your high milage experiences none the less Edited May 24, 2016 by JoeyEunos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipFlops Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 My tdi's on 230k now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
