Hey everyone,

My 1984 diesel golf recently passed 250,000 miles and it got me thinking about other high mileage VWs. This has been done with ease, little expense/maintaince and all on the original clutch! :Blush:

In fact i think 'the beige' is running better now than when i bought her 3 years ago from a friend for the princely sum of £150.
The only real complaint is an oil leak which i think is coming from the cam seal but as it has not got any worse and i dont have a nice, posh, red-brick driveway I'm really not that bothered.

So, I'd like to hear of your ageing, high mileage VWs just to compare thoughts, facts and opinions.

Also I have fitted a set of electric Recaro seats (from a mk2 16v) and I've heard these alone a worth a bob or two, is this right?

Many thanks,
Dale :D
