VW Passat TDI 100BHP Estate. Still going strong with 137000 miles. Only issue is a leaking Radiator!

2002 Passat 130 sport Estate now at 222,436.
Ran it as my company car from new but since it has become the family car only done just over 10k in two years so enjoying it's retirement ! Has flown through all the mot's. Just had new clutch & dual mass fitted £857.00

(local guy who is excellant) and I've done the discs and pads plus engine service (parts £218 from Europarts) - all this is the only money spent in the last two years. Having to press it back into towing as my 07 plate company smoker has gone back. By comparison it was cr*p - all the usual niggles an the head gasket went at 68k.
Got to say that even at over 200k the 02 machine feels more responsive and is more enjoyable to drive.

Come on Steve old son, in what, driven by what, how old? Gives me reason to hold onto my 227k Tdi 130 PD Passat for a while longer........

Steve drives a 1986 Scirocco 1.6 - keep the Passat

I've now updated all new entries since ~April 2009.

A few entries are very sketchy and lack pertinent details so unfortunately I've not included those vehicles. Please try and include the make, model, engine and mileage of the vehicle you are submitting.

Finally, for the purposes of this Club, high mileage is anything over 150,000 miles.

Oh and more Skodas and SEATs please people - 4 so far, poor show!

Great news. In that case, I own a low mileage Passat PD100S '02 with a mere 138000 miles!!

I'm just arriving at 400K in my audi a6 1.9tdi auto. Still no work whatsoever to engine or gearbox (touch wood). 1st nearly breakdown with a plastic fitment in the cooling system fracturing, but apart from that she runs brilliantly......

I'm told that PD and especially common rail are more unreliable as there are more bits to go wrong and wreck the motor.......the bits from the various pumps get round the fuel system requiring a total rework of injectros, fuels lines etc.....so simple is best and the 110 is one very tough motor....
