An update:

My 2003 A6 1.9TDI PD has now just gone over 207,000 miles. In the last 40,000 miles of ownership (18 months), I can report that there have not been any issues or additional cost outside of normal servicing.

I think 2009 could be an expensive year though. There is a front suspension wear issue, not major, but needs sorting now. The front pads and discs need replacing also. I will be very surprised if I make it to the year end without needing a clutch and flywheel. I believe the car is on original clutch from factory build - not bad considering she's been running with a remap since 184,000 miles - Touching wood that the cam doesn't go boom - but with 507.00 spec oil changes every 7k miles, hopefully might be ok.

I might it give a treat also this year, in the form of a new MAF and an EGR clean.

Other than, pleased with the car and no intentions to get rid in the foreseeable.

That's great to hear Clint, my A6 is very similar to yours so it gives me confidence!

Update on my T5, just ticked to 110k, just 4k to the next oil change... another £80!

Saw article on a Passat about 15 years ago.
Can't remember all details but was impressed by the following;
Was 1985 B reg, 1.6 engine, if memory serves me right it was petrol.
Owner covered 450,000 miles with just normal servicing and replacing things
like water pumps/alternators! He said he drove it easy till oil temp warm.
Car was still running good when article was written.
Maybe someone heard/seen this one?

audi 80 tdi 1993

clock stopped at 340000 last year

I'd be happy to brag about my Passat at 220,000 miles (356,000 km) but it has been on 3 different engines, started life (first 100,000m) as as 2 litre 16 valve GT, I swapped for a modified 1.8 16 valve on Motec, with which it has done several laps of the Nurburgring Nordschleif, and it is now running on a 1.9 TDI, which is the best conversion I have done so far, 40,000miles on Biodiesel, no problems...
Just looking for a 130PD to put in it now, hence the post about PD injectors.
Seems these older Passats (1989) are getting a bit rare in scrapyards, so I may have to buy a spares car from ebay to keep the old girl on the road. Any offers?
