CazzaVR 0 Posted December 9, 2004 Well done mate- not quite run-in properly yet then :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 9, 2004 Its a scary feeling. You just expect the car to suddenly go like a clown car - the doors drop off, and the bonnet files open whilst water sprays everywhere. Hehe :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamesmilsome 0 Posted December 9, 2004 another 70k and you can join my club Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 10, 2004 Why do you guys feel compelled to take pics of your speedos at 100K??? LOL! We're not in the 50s anymore. 100K is nothing for a well maintained VW! Mine got to 103K before I'd even noticed it had surpassed the 'milestone'! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Another 105K to join my club :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Its the first car I've owned where the far left digit has been anything other than '0'! You're right kev, if its been looked after its not a massive deal, which is testiment to what a fine car it is :wink: I know what you mean jim, as the counter ticked over i did actually brace myself for the wheels to fall off and the to engine set on fire, bit of an anticlimax when nothing happened, albeit a happy one!

kangaroo 0 Posted December 10, 2004 I have a picture of my old Golf's odometer saying 123,456. Had to pull over onto the motorway hardshoulder to grab that one :) Will have to see if I can find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 10, 2004 I've got one of my MKI Golf 16V (on the M62 a test track at the time) with the speedo and rev counter off the ends of the scales as it clocked up 100K miles! :lol: I really must dig it out and scan it in... ;) 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Blimey.. myns on 151k now.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aclwalker 3 Posted December 14, 2004 LOL! I've got a 100,000 photo of my old Golf and I'm sure I got one too at 123,456 and had to pull into the hard shoulder or side of the road or whatever. I've only got 12,000 or so to go for the big 200,000 in the Corrado and then the next milestone is the distance to the moon which is around 238,000 if I remember correctly! However, since I no longer commute to work, it's going to take ages to get there. Anybody with true astronomical mileages on their Corrado? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Well, Henny's 250k is pretty atronomical! Mine's on just under 205k (engine's only done 70k though :wink: ). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 14, 2004 I think Andi's VR6 (forum admin) has done over 200K on the original engine - which is damn good going for a VR! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aclwalker 3 Posted December 15, 2004 I think Andi's VR6 (forum admin) has done over 200K on the original engine - which is damn good going for a VR! Mine is nearly 190k on original engine. As far as I know it's never had the head off either. I _think_ (hope too!) the chains have been done. There's no noise from them. Sometimes I worry about the mileage, but it runs fine. The only problem is the oilyness of cylinder 6 but it used to be sooty too and really foul up to the point of not running, but I think I sorted that out with the new hall sender and blue temp sensor. I have to put in a fair bit of oil, but I think it's still within spec. Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted December 15, 2004 hmmm 'only' got 135k right now, been taking it easy with her during the winter, she'll have 150k+ by the end of summer 05 tho! If most of this mileage is done on the motorway and I am getting 30+mpg I figured that it's not bad really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Hmm, 101K on the Rado, 143K on the Mk2 Rocco, and 115K on the Mk1 Rocco, all just about run in :lol: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
