High mileage CR - post it up!

[Falkon45]

Just rolled past 288,888 on my 2003 Jetta. May think about replacing the beast. Been driving too long without A/C

Sweet, best to wait until July 26th for VW's final decision if they are to continue the production of new TDI's or not. I hope that they will. I am about to roll into 225k miles on my 2011 JSW today.

^^ 288K and 225K, that's amazing stuff! You go you guys!

 

[calimustang]

Thank you, look on my signature. all original parts. even brakes.

It's cool you have 288,888 on your ALH, but this thread is dedicated to the Common Rail diesels. That being said, I'd still keep that ALH you have, they are awesome

I realized that too, after I posted. It is amazing just the same. I also think the older cars are very cool, although I'm sure I'd miss the newer features from my car.

290K on a 2011 JSW with a 6M. It's been deleted since 235K

 

[tdi54]

165K still on original front and rear brakes. And by checking the exterior, interior or the engine you can never imagine this car has that many mileages. It drives and pulls strong delivering high fuel efficiency too.

 

[calimustang]

nice to see 290k on similar 2011 JSW. Mine's about to roll into 235k with original HPFP and turbo. Just had brake rotors/pads done 1k mile ago due to vibrations. Front pads still have 25% left, rear was like 5% lol, shocks was done for. It smells bad. Now she sports Bilstein HD shocks/struts and never look back. Turbo and HPFP are next within few months, and I am keeping her period.

I'm approaching 330,000 miles on my 2010 JSW. I may hit 400k before I sell it back to VW.

Wow, lots of driving!

I just rolled over 109k. Hoping to keep mine if they bother to actually develop a fix and it doesn't destroy the car in the process. If I have to sell it back, no idea what I'll replace it with.

!65k on brake pads is big time impressive to this sailor. Well Done!!


Are those 165,000 mostly Interstate/highway?


These diesels take a LOOOOOONG break-in..............

At 45,000 my return trip from San Diego calc's indicate 52.75 MPG.

It just keep getting better and better!!



best, ez (...and the 24k - 25k buyback seems like frosting.......well u know......)

 

[calimustang]

165k isnt bad. mine lasted to 232k miles. 75% highway driving.

 

[calimustang]

update, 240k miles! still running with original HPFP, Turbo and motor and DSG.

original shocks/brake rotors/pads replaced at 234k

anyone else chime in with high mileage?

 

[turbobrick240]

Not my car, but heard of a '10 cr tdi in the UK with 571k miles! Taxi. Apparently has filled two dpf's so far.

 

[Henrick]

Was it 1.6 TDI or 2.0 TDI?

571k miles is a bit suspicious to me, especially for UK.
Let's do some math.
Let's assume the car was started to use on the 1st of January in 2010.
By now it is 7 years old or 2555 days old.

571'000/2'555 = 223 miles per day.

Now let's assume the taxi was in use 24x7. Let's count it's average speed.
223/24 = 9.3 mph.

People usually don't take a taxi to drive from one end of country to another one. People use taxis mostly for city driving. That average speed is not something unusual in crowded city traffic jams. Sometimes it's even less than that.

From the math above, I doubt the car has got nearly 1 million kilometers, even with assumption it was used 24x7x365 without any downtime at all (hardly possible), especially in such country as UK!

I started this thread over 2 years ago with a 2010 wagon with about 390k miles. I updated about 1.5 years ago (post113) that the same wagon was over 447k miles. He drove that car for work as wide load pilot car.

So would it be more suspect if it was a 1.6 or 2.0? My impression was that it was a 2.0, but I could be wrong. Seems plausible for somebody who drives for a living.

edit: It is a 2.0 Touran. It's about a dozen threads down right now - 'what happens when particulate filter fills up'.

My research indicates that the average NYC taxi racks up 70k miles per year. That's just the average- I'm sure a lot do over 100k miles per year. NYC is pretty urban.

Yea that's a hell of a lot of miles, but even more so in nyc. I've purchased various cars that lived in NYC and they take a beating. Suspension components and things that you wouldn't expect, like the horn haha. Almost every car that I have purchased 2 out of 3, from the boroughs I had to replace the horn..lol I wonder why!

Well, 1.6 is more popular for taxis than 2.0, at least from what I have observed.

Yeah, 70k miles average is quite realistic while the car is new.
However, as it ages, the average mileage per year drops too. The car starts to have downtime, it requires repairs and it requires some money to be invested into parts/labour.
Most companies try to sell/dispose taxi cars at the age between 3-5 years.
N.A. region might have different traditions

BTW, from what I have heard, in NYC the traffic almost never stops, it just slows down.
In UK often it's stuck with no move at all for quite a bit, rather than a slowdown.

Yea pretty much. Depends on the borough. But even in Manhattan from the hours of like 1 am to 5 am the streets are usually pretty quiet. Barring any sort of night time construction or event.
But idk about not being stuck. Try getting across the GWB on the cross Bronx expressway during rush hour traffic. It is a 3 mile long parking lot.
If I'm not mistaken it ranked the highest or if not the highest for most traffic in the us. The van Wyck is always bumper to bumper. West side highway and even the FDR. Forget about the cross streets and avenues. During normal times you have to account for an hour to get out of the city. That's significant considering how small it is.

I can assure you all the car in the uk is genuine and has genuinely done 573,544 miles (as of yesterday) The car recently featured in the vw magazine. Its a 2.0 tdi cr sport vw touran.
He does mainly airport transfers which is 100 miles to the nearest major airport.
The next thing is if the odometer will stop at 621xxx miles ( 1 million km) or will continue to count till 999,999?
The gearbox has developed a slight whine from the gearbox in 1st and 2nd recently so that maybe the next repair.

 

[Henrick]

Wow, pretty impressive.
Being an airport taxi explains it all. Doing mainly city driving it would be nearly impossible to achieve that mileage.

Any comments on maintenance and repairs carried out during the car's life?

Also, is the gearbox manual one or a DSG? If it's manual, then the cheapest option would be to swap from a donor car which can be any year, CR/PD engine but not a gasser one. Gearbox itself shouldn't cost much.

As for 621k mile limit, it would be interesting to see. With odometer rolling that fast, I bet we'll know the answer ina couple of weeks

 

[Mattyoctavia]

he picked it up brand new in dec 2010 just before new year. he was back in the dealer 4 weeks later for 10,000 service. its always serviced and repaired at vw dealer as have the past 2 sharans he has owned. the previous sharan was a 1.9 pd which is still going under another owner and currently around 630,000.
The touran had its first clutch and flywheel at 190,000, second clutch at 288,000.
The first dpf went at 250,000. The engine was replaced due to the alternator pulley falling off at speed on the motorway which took out the timing belt and killed the engine. Vw paid for the majority of this bill as they failed to repair the noise he had reported.
The replacement engine was a bare engine so hes still on the original dpf etc. Although he did have another flywheel and clutch at the same time.
Following the emissions upgrade at 550,000 it wasn't performing quite right, vw thought it was a worn turbo so they replaced it. turned out the turbo was fine and not needed. the fault turned out to be a faulty air flow meter.
The week before xmas the car was back in vw for 570,000 service and a second dpf. Note the second dpf lasted 320,000 using only shell v-power and only 250,000 on standard diesel. The car is still on the original injectors.
The oil is changed every 10,000 using vw quantum oil.
Due to a few days off at xmas he'll probably be up to 580,000 end of jan now with 600,000 due somewhere around march.

 

[calimustang]

wow..... that really gave me more confidence to rack up my miles more... thanks for sharing, Mattyoctavia.

 

[gmcjetpilot]

I only have 90,000 on my 2010, but I helped a lady out, original owner of 2010 TDI Cup, with 205,000 K no major issues.

I scanned her car because the shop want $1000 to fix something that was not broke. She was throwing P320C which is related to a 2010 TSB to reflash the ECU to make mass airflow less sensitive. However people who did that got less efficiency. I checked her advanced measurements and the O2 sensors were in range. The only way to reset is unplug the O2 sensors and cycle the ignition.

 

[xjay1337]

I'm up to 176k miles now.

 

[DubFamily]

Well; I'll hit 170,000 miles in my 2012 right before I turn it in for the buyback on February 10th...
