I'm the owner of Mk4 Jetta Wagon with a BEW and 440,000 kms.... best vehicle I have ever owned. Like anything with wheels, eventually keeping those wheels rolling goes from regular maintenance to a hobby for the love of the car.
Being practical, with 500,000km on the horizon perhaps its time to think about a replacement.
My scandalous conversations have included the thought that (since VW has screwed diesels forever....) what about a good old gas version of the latest Golf Sportswagon? (rumor has it that it might even be available in a standard transmission 4motion system?
I know... surrounded by diesel enthusiast on this forum might not be the right place to ask this question but in all seriousness, How do the VW gas engines stack up for durability against, lets say the last diesel that VW produced. I figure its a fare question as from the input of the transmission it is essentially the same bucket of nuts, bolts and leaky sunroofs
