Ok i have a 1.8 nasp ZS 120+ at the moment but got my eye on a 75 1.8t conny se.
I do a LOT of miles (35kish a year) and i was looking at getting a 75 1.8t with 60-80k on it depending on price
i always service on time or before due and never skimp on parts i.e. use decent oil and filters and chuck a new set of plugs in every 25-30k
mostly motorway miles and work pay for the fuel as long as i don't get something daft on fuel (so back off V6 crowd !!! lol) so fuel isn't too much of an issue - from what i have read on various threads on here mpg is not too bad cruising on the motorway - i tend to sit at 70-80 steady and will probably be getting a remap too so should help fuel on the long hauls.
question is this....
how many miles should you see from a 1.8t under these conditions aside from obvious stuff that could happen on any car like the turbo blowing etc etc and HGF won't be an issue - if it goes i'll sort it as i'll have clocked it well before engine goes bang in theory as all my K's that i have had get daily water checks.
I am talking nuts and bolts of the thing.
anyone on a high miler 1.8t that can chuck in their 2p?
cheers
