Rpm5123 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi, I'm in process of trying to get an arosa. It's gonna b a run about for my wife and new born.What is classed as high milage for these cars. Seen some with 120k on clock. Look in very good condition but not sure if I'm likely to b buying into problems ?Any advise would be greatThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 my tdi goes great and its on 125k dont think the petrol versions are as reliable with high milage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The 1.4 petrol models are a bit of a minefield with regard to valve stem seals and pistion rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have seen 1L models for sale on eBay with 140k+ miles before. I wouldn't like to do that many miles in one but off the top of my head I can't think of any mileage related common problems. They seem to be quite a hardy engine.
