High mileage CR - post it up!

[calimustang]

203100 miles and I drove the car from FL to California for Christmas and she ran flawlessly! Still sporting original shocks and brake rotors and pads.

Just turned 244,000. It is the "dreaded 2009" model from what I read on this forum. I'm hoping and praying VW wants to buy it back due to diesel gate... The only reason I say this is because of all the unknowns with this exact model year cause a little uncertainty as far as reliability in the long run. I bought this car specifically for driving from VA to North Dakota and I'm home for good now back in VA. This is the best sportiest fun to drive car I have ever owned and I love it....

136,XXX on my 2012
The TB interval changed from 2011-2012. Pre-'12 it was 120K, for our MY and up it switched to 130K. I haven't done mine yet, but I have the kit and tools in my garage, just need time enough to do it.
Not really worried; if these things generally fail in the 130-140K range VW would have made the interval 100K for a safety net...

*Sigh*

I'm still at 136,XXX miles; but this morning the CEL just came on... Stupid P0401 code

I was just talking about how great the car has been too; crap...

Bringing this thread back alive, whats your highest mileage now?

My JSW now have 215,200 miles. Still running on original brake rotors and pads and shocks.

 

[bobt2382]

I hit 100K miles a few weeks ago. Ditto, original brake rotors and pads and shocks. Replaced original Continental tires @ 68 with Continental PureContact V-speed rated 225/45-17 tires.

 

[sootchucker]

passed 99,600 on the 2010 today. no problems. stage 3.5.

original clutch, pads, rotors, suspension.

 

[frugality]

194k on original brakes. Due to a broken front spring, I decided to spring for a set of Koni FSDs last fall....just before the emissions thing hit. Otherwise, I might be on the original dampers, too.

How are you liking those pure contacts? I need to replace my tires soon. They the same as what came from the factory? Id love tires that lasted 68k!

They came with the CONTIPROCONTACT. I really cant tell much of a difference in normal driving between the two. Looks like I'll get close to the 70k that they are rated for. These are rated better for snow. I had no problem the few times it did snow. These may be slightly quieter than the OEMs and are actually 2-30 dollars cheaper per tire. I do run them at 40 psi. I'm satisfied.

Thanks for the insight!

I just scored a set of 4 brand new conticonact pros, the pokies are visible, so I know they're new. I couldn't believe the price. I think someone mixed up something.

$220 for all 4!

I bear hugged them and ran.

Thought they'd be quieter. Oh well. Weird driving with tire meat. I've been running on near bald faces the past 2 summers. Tires feel hard and amplify pebbles when all the meat is gone.

I put pure contacts on mine about 4k ago and so far they are great tires. They are amazing in the rain for sure, amazing in the twisties too.

I've posted a few reviews on that tire in the big tire thead here:
http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=349541

I've got about 30k miles on them so far. My feelings are unchanged! They are fantastic all season tires. They have done great in snowy conditions, rainy conditions, cold & hot conditions

The tires rarely break loose in dry conditions. Obviously it's easier to get 'em spinning in the wet. But they still do a great job with traction

FWIW I have the v rated 225 45 17's. I got them to get tires with stiffer sidewalls. Better for cornering and although it has a slightly stiffer ride it's much better controlled than the oem Conti procontacts.

168,000 yesterday morning, running better than ever.

 

[calimustang]

Why get rid of it at 75k? Look at me, my car runs flawlessly at 215k miles. It even drives better than 75k miles gasser car.

It's a company car. Get replaced at 75k.

They dropped VW from the list of replacements due to the scandal.


I've asked if I can buy it but, not sure what the buy out will be. Only time will tell.

Love the car.

 

[calimustang]

Gotcha. Hope you can buy it. I cant wait to get EPA scandal to get over with it so I can buy new TDI.

With the value as low as it is right now, they should cut you a pretty good deal.

Local and carry out.

I'll spoon and balance my own rubber for 120$, thank you.

$7500 asking price

I had a guy in Washington talked down to $5000 (his price) with Oregon TTL for a 2010 JSW. ~184K miles, DSG, bad DPF. I offered $3800 based on no good service info (DSG or timing belt IIRC), and the fact that a new DPF costs $800.
