Bought my ‘13 JSW in Aug 2020 with 36k miles on it. Just rolled over to 100k yesterday. Looking forward to “moving” to an non-emissions test state in the near future and getting this girl a little more pep.

Mine is like a baby at 341k compared to the high milers. This is what gives me faith in the Jetta!
Just crossed 250k yesterday. Granted, the previous 9.............. Yes, 9 owners, did the previous miles. I'd like to get it over 300k. Not trying to spend an arm a leg on repairs or preventative maintenance so if it dies, it dies.
2004 TDI, BEW engine, 500k miles on it, never any major reparis at all, Turbo still org,
still the orginal exahust, rear wheel bearings, Rad hoses,
I just replaced the struts and rear shocks,
oil change at every 5k miles VW 505 oil always
Timingbelt every 100k, I do all my own work,
thats 100 oil changes
Still runs good, 48-53mpg
wish I could find another car like this. I own a 2012 TDI and I dout it will last like this old 2004

first thing he did. he's a diesel mechanic by trade. they also did brakes and replaced the tires. the car still had the plastic on the seats!
Umm, where can I get one like that?!? Man that’s wild. Super cool

he chased down a crappy ad on the internet and lo it was for real. apparently someone bought it and died before taking delivery and so the car was stuck in a warehouse for years held up in probate or whatever. so, a brand new 20yo car!

7 years later and I'm at 299,000. Just had 3,500 in repairs and maintenance done at Everything Euro. I think the stock turbo is getting weak. Car has. Malone stage 3 tune and would chirp 3rd gear when I got it, 120k miles ago. Now, it's slow to boost and doesn't gitty up like she used to. Hoping to get that looked into sometime this year.Got the '02 Jetta back in May with 181k on it. Just turned 200k a few days ago. Finally past the break in period!

298,000 miles on my 2010 Jetta TDI, as of March 8, 2023. Original HPFP, the turbo was changed once. (it was primarily my mistake of putting it into second gear mistakenly @ 60 miles/hour)
It runs like new, the power and fuel efficiency are still superior. I think one of the greatest vehicle I had own and now I had given to my teenager son whom should drive it for many years to come.

Our miles aren’t racking up anymore as Donna just joined me in retirement. We’ll keep our ALH’s as long as I can stand working on them though. Fantastic little machines

My wife's retirement dropped her mileage to about 4000 a year. Don't know if my retirement will make that big of difference since we'll probably be hitting the highways more.

How do you like your 2010 JSW? I’ve been thinking of upgrading just for interior comfort. It would be hard to part with either of our ALH’s though, pretty darn dependable

We went from the 2000 beetle to the jsw. It was love at first drive. I put almost 200 miles on my test drive! Comfort and power were the most notable things. Going from 90 horses to 150 is huge. Made it feel like stepping up to a V6 gasser. The one thing I still really miss is the manual tranny but the wife was still recovering from knee surgery so a third pedal was not an option. With still under 160k miles, it has a lot of life left too.

How many transmission problems?
Ready to hit 400K miles tomorrow on my commute to work. Lifetime average MPG since new 52mpg. 5 Timing belts, 2 sets of brakes, a clutch, a gasket and a transmission. That's all in 20 years. New headliner going in this week. Looking to hit 1M miles before retirement.

A couple - on third 01M, and the current one's had the line pressure star wheel replaced along the way too.
