Finally, I legit thought they were going to completely ignore that. I've been waiting for an explanation for ages

From USA, i have had a 2005 Ford Focus ST 2.3 manual non turbo...bought it June 2013 with 119k miles and currently still rocking it with 194k miles with minor fixes....

I've got a 2002 VW Passat GLX Estate. Its got the 2.8 30V V6 a 5spd manual gearbox, and i use it every day. I've had it a little over a year and a couple weeks ago it rolled over 250,000. Original engine and trans, someone put a nice set of black Audi 17 inch wheels on it. When I bought it the check engine light was on, and i talked the guy down nearly $600 from his asking price. Kelly Blue Book says that my car is worth exactly nothing basically, so I overpaid for it. Turns out the check engine light was a vacuum leak. It burns just a tiny amount of oil, maybe a quart every month or so. And I drive a lot actually. Round trip to work for me is almost 150 miles. Runs great, shifts great, clutch feels awesome. Feels like it could easily do another quarter of a million. Love it.

Honestly a true testament to the 1.9 tdi engine

I had one in a 2001 seat leon. Nearly 300000 miles later, the body was shot, but that engine was perfect

The car falls apart around the engine but the engine is not going to fail. Its not the only 1.9 TDI to hit 500,000 miles.

@@gravemind6536 a friend of mine has an Ibiza 6L with the 1.9 TDI PD and 800.000 km (500.000 miles) on the clock. Car is falling apart, but the engine still goes strong. I personally own a Fabia with the very same engine and 187.000 km. Great piece of german engineering the 1.9 tdi is

A couple of years back, a friend of mine bought a second hand 1994 Volkswagen Passat B4 1,9 TD (66 kW) with over 640.000 km (400.000 miles) on the clock. Today, the car is still working just fine (the clutch has been replaced, but it has original turbo and original gearbox) and it has recently surpassed 820.000 km (ca. 510.000 miles).

I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX coupe with just shy of 390,000 miles on it. Original motor and transmission too! Bought it for an inexpensive rallycross project.

Please, give us high mileage hero series II!
