Whats the Mileage on your TDI

56 plate Leon TDI - had it since March '07 with 6k - now on 140k and not a single fault.

Serviced every 10k and still runs like a dream, even 55mpg on the M4 run to work!

Well, I have finally bitten the bullet and decided to replace my Leon at 203,000 miles. A nice person from Poland bought it on eBay for £450, so the car is going to spend it's last few years in Poland. Quite sad really ;-)

just a question, mines now on 132k and the turbo is going, i was talking to someone yesterday they said the engine probably wont hold up much longer (looking into pd150 turbo and a remap) I do about 150/160 miles a week. Anybody able to shed any light on that?? If its not worth spending the money on jsut for the engine to pop then i wont bother. Cheers fellas

Plenty of people running much higher than that! High mileage doesn't necessarily mean that the engine is going to fail.

Quick question for you all, Would you buy a Leon Fr Tdi on 141k? Got full service history and a full 12 month MOT, but is 141k just asking for trouble?

My mates in afghan so I've got his fr150 with 130000 and the only real differences to mine on 78000 is the clutch and his struggles to start abit in the cold, bushes are a bit saggy too
