TDI Laufleistungen | Posts 32+

Hi,

I have a Seat Cordoba GT, manufactured in September 1997.
Engine (AFN)
HOPA plugs installed 8,000 km ago.
81 kW --> 102 kW
160,000 km (approximately 1/2 on highways)

Engine in excellent condition, no oil consumption.
Timing belt replaced at 90,000 km.

So far, no problems, except for the valve cover gasket, which I now have to replace for the second time.

It runs perfectly and only consumes 5.5 - 6 liters.

Oil change every 15,000 km, K&N air filter.

130,000 km
90 horsepower TDI ALH engine in a Golf IV.

No significant issues other than a faulty mass airflow sensor at 70,000 km, and occasional air in the diesel hose, which is likely due to a faulty filter.

The KW-Systems box is here, but it won't be installed because my TDI is supposed to last a very, very long time (who can check the spray pattern of my injectors, and what does that cost?).

I voted for a 'familiar face' who drives an old Passat Variant taxi with a 90 horsepower TDI engine. It has over 700,000 kilometers on the clock, with about 400,000 of those kilometers achieved with a performance chip. I was quite surprised. But otherwise, the box is already falling apart . The main thing is that the engine runs...

Golf III 1Z, 90 HP: 110,000 km without a chip, and for the last 15,000 km with a chip tuned to 110 HP. Absolutely no problems since the modification. Hey, everything is still original except for the LLM and, of course, the timing belt/tensioner...

Engine AFN, 81 kW, with tuning ~108 kW (TuneLine).
Total KM: 93,000.
Tuned at 75,000 kilometers.

Removed the sports air filter, as it damaged the mass airflow sensor (MAF) and provided absolutely no benefit other than additional costs.

Best regards, Thomas.

Golf 3 GTI TDI '20 Years' model, manufactured in October 1996.
Engine AFN, 81 kW.
Mileage: 130,000 km
Up to 128,000 km without modifications.
'With 'defective' EGR system, from 125,000 km.'
Available from 128,000 km with optional 10-cent performance upgrade.
I have owned it since 119000 km (November 2001), and so far, I have only experienced the usual problems with the VTG .

*edit This probably doesn't belong here, and I haven't voted either.

Volkswagen Golf II TD AAZ 55kW.

60,000 new cylinder heads and burner nozzles.
130,000 units of LLK from KW-Systems, adjustment of the flow rate.
Boost pressure increased to 0.9 bar. 77 kW.
130.150 Charger damage.
I now have 131,000 [points/miles/etc.], and I don't see any further damage/losses coming up...

1.4 TDI PD (AMF), 70,000 km, 75 hp, with *** chip tuned to 98 hp.
20,000 km without modifications, 50,000 km with modifications.
AGR is shut down.

EDIT: Sold the car with 102,000 miles, bought a new, identical car with 40,000 miles, same chip, now at 150,000 miles with no problems.

Regards,

Olaf.

Seat Cordoba Vario, 1.9 TDI / Engine code ASV / First registration 02/00.
65,000 km, of which 11,000 km were driven with a Powerbox Speedbuster 2.
Initially, the device was set too high, triggering a failsafe mode.
After reinstalling the software, the device is running smoothly.
Consumption: 5.5 - 6 liters.

Best regards, Steffi H.

Volkswagen Golf 3 AFN, 1997.
Approximately 105,000 kilometers without modifications.
Approximately 20,000 kilometers with a Wendland auxiliary control unit (approximately 103 kW).
In total, approximately 125,000 kilometers.
No significant problems.

Regards,
Thomas.

Volkswagen Golf 3 TDI Variant, engine code: 1Z.

Purchased in July 2000 with 78,500 km and 90 horsepower.
chipped at ******** in August 2001 with 112,000 km on the odometer, increasing the horsepower to 115.
Current mileage: 153,000 km.

So far, no problems: The timing belt was replaced at 75,000 km and will be replaced again this month. A visual inspection of the timing belt shows no signs of excessive wear. Fuel consumption with the chip is 0.3 to 0.8 liters lower than the previous consumption. Fuel consumption is currently between 5.5 and 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers.


Sure, here's the translation:

'Hello Seven'

Hello,

How long do your tuned TDIs last?

Greetings, Rainer

Hello Rainer!
I would also like to know how long TDIs generally last.
Mine now has just under 265,000 km without any modifications, of which 225,000 km were driven by the previous owner with diesel, and included a significant amount of long-distance driving. I've driven 40,000 km, using biodiesel and mostly doing short trips.

Ask me how much longer the engine will last, or how the effects of aging will become noticeable. Are there any typical age-related weaknesses in TDIs? Such as gradual loss of compression, worn injectors, oil consumption, etc. Or rather, a sudden total failure (ZK, crash, ???).

As far as I know, mine hasn't had any major repairs besides a turbocharger failure and a leaking hose on the power steering pump (and worn suspension, but that's not related to the engine).

2. Turbocharger at approximately 200,000 km.
Fine oil filter replacement at approximately 259,000 km (yes, crazy, right?).

A4 AFN 1996
Udo.

My 1994 Golf 3 TDI has so far managed to reach 329,000 km without major problems. Apart from the fact that the mileage resets to zero after 300,000 km, everything is still fine.

The first 100,000 km with an *** chip.
Since then, without a chip.
Now 225,000 km.

John.

I've now reached 180,000 km (without any modifications), and apart from (of course) the mass airflow sensor's magnetic valve, I haven't had any other problems.

Best regards, Alex.


Please provide the German text you would like me to translate.

Passat B5, manufactured in 10/96, with 238,000 km mileage. Equipped with a chip tuning module since 70,000 km, an exhaust system, and a sports air filter for the last 50,000 km.

So far, nothing is broken, at least as far as the engine is concerned , and I hope it stays that way...

I'm sorry, I don't have enough information to do that. I'm a large language model, and I don't have access to the internet or other external resources.

Passat, AFN engine, first registration 9/1997, location: Nothelle (Wetterau region).
135 hp / 285 Nm from 25,000 km.
Now at 191,000 km and a problem with the catalytic converter .
Due at 100,000 LMM.
(wants to drive up to 300,000 km)
