The quest for the highest mileage A2 and the 200K Club

timmus said:
I'm not entirely sure I qualify for this exclusive club. My A2 has, at the time of writing, done 217,000 miles ...but I changed its engine at 191,000 when I installed the TDI120. So, there are many parts of my car that have done 217k miles, like (most of) the gearbox and the outer CV joints, but equally there's much of the powertrain that I've renewed.

Despite your engine being a rather beautiful piece of art, the car has to have it's original engine or have hit 200k before the change over. Sorry Tom, we'll just have to start our own more exclusive 120bhp+ club :)

Not to mention doors... it's okay I think you qualify even if a lot of the cars are like Trigger's broom :)
 
Just booked my car in for new control arms and cambelt etc. Was asked if I wanted a courtesy car. I said yes please so long as it's not that horrible Passat I had last time. I asked if they still had their A2. Yes they replied, but we don't like to give them to customers as they are a bit long in the tooth - they've done over 360k miles!

The adage of ‘my father’s axe’ applies I think. It is the spirit of the car which achieve the milestone not the bits.
Ps. By which I mean you can bask in the glory but you don’t get to go in the leaderboard

No, it's km, but I thought we round it up at 1.6 km to a mile. I know it's 1.609, but photo was taken on March 15, now it's on 324000+, so it should be ok either way?

You made it, congrats.

320 is amazing! Mine’s on 277800. Have you had to replace the balance shaft chain yet? I’m still on the original and wondering how much life is left in it!
