Tips for getting an entire A4 TDI to 500k?
my wife and i have two new TDIs and we each drive 25-30k/year. we plan to meticulously maintain both PDs with the hope of getting ~500k out of each of them (over 15-20+years). we've both owned VWs before but not A4s, and we're looking for total car tips to help us acheive the 500k goals.
so, on A4s what are the things that wear quickly our could be problematic but can be helped with preventative TLC?
ideally we'd like tips in on all aspects of A4 TDIs: engine/electical, exterior, and interior.
the car i owned prior to my new Golf was a '84 Volvo with a VW turbo diesel engine. it had multiple owners and was not well maintained before i owned it. it's now in its 21st year of use and the guy i sold it to still drives it daily. this experience makes me optimistic that a well maintained one-owner A4 TDI can easily drive well for 20+ years and beyond.
thanks!
