Pretty impressive ! I reckon you would have spent a fair bit on clutches and DMF's if you'd had the manual , or DPF's if it was a GT TDI
so much for these time bomb engines that consume oil at an alarming rate or at least until the cam chain tensioner lets go
The EA113 has a belt.so much for these time bomb engines that consume oil at an alarming rate or at least until the cam chain tensioner lets go
I doubt you'd be able to get the EA888 (chain driven) up to 300k as rumour has it that it's not as hardy an engine.
I'm pretty sure only 2 sets of discs, you might be right though, maybe a few more sets of pads, but not many.. i seem to have lost some of bills there are so many now !!

Only 2 sets of brake pads and discs in 240k miles?
Sounds like its mainly used as a motorway muncher then. Either that or driven very gently.

First one around 110,000 miles, the other around 220,000...
Car not actually tracked, those were just numerous trips as a mechanic...

What mileage did you find yourself replacing the first DSG controller? Judging by your blog it had a fairly hard life with trackdays, etc.
