160K miles. Put new fluid and filter in at 130K when I bought it. That got rid of the slight surge. Will do again at 170K. No power mods until I need/get a manual.

bought mine (from a one owner) with 192000. It had a slight rpm flare. Richard at coolairVW did a valve body overbore and valve replacement for me. I like it!

I replaced my Transmission on my 2004 Jetta PD TDI at 213,000 miles and I drove it to the dealer slamming gears. I now have just about 270,000 miles and is OK but you never know Im saving for a new trans just in case.

Mine lasted about 160k, but 10k of that was with no reverse gear and at least 60k of it was it acting up in other ways.
I bought it knowing I was going to eventually swap it for a 5 speed.

I would say it depends more on how the tranny was serviced than actual mileage.
I've got just over 150k on it now it is going just as well as new. I change the fluid and filter every 40k since new just to be safe.

208K on 2000 Golf. Showing signs of going...When it warms up no issues. Just takes a few extra seconds to engage in drive. Then easy on the power until warmed up.
This morning was not dropping down into 4th gear on the freeway...slipping? 62MPH usually approx. 2200 rpm's this morning was 2500-2700. So pulled off did the ole transmission reset and all was good.
To reset the programming to stock values, (and get it to start "learning" your style), try this.
With the engine off turn the ignition key to the "on" position, (not the start position!).
With the key "on", (dash lit up etc..), press the accelerator pedal all the way down to the floor.
Hold it on the floor for "at least" the count of 10.
Switch "off" the key.
Release the accel pedal.
Start car normally.
When I did this I think I lucked out, the transmission is now reset and shifts back to 'normal'

I think mine started slipping at around 160k miles, but no symptoms at all before that.
