I have been doing my daily 130 mile round-trip commute to work each day in my 2001 Golf GL TDI (Bettie Page)since I purchased her in August 2000. Bettie (she looks great in black!)now has 45,000+ miles on her and continues to run smooth, cool, quiet and sexy. Except for an occasional blast past 100 mph for fun, I usually commute between 85-90 mph (the state police seem to give us commuters a pass on I-10). The engine seems very smooth, even up to 95 mph, but I do worry that I might be pushing her too hard over the long term. I use synthetic oil and adhere (strictly)to her maintenance schedule. Am I just being a girly-man or can I continue to burn up the bayoubahn. Any thoughts from long time owners would be appreciated?
