I would say approximately 100,000 km driven with 75% pure biodiesel, and the rest was a mix or just diesel.
Switching from diesel to biodiesel can cause the seals to deteriorate. Regularly alternating between diesel and biodiesel (e.g., in winter) can exacerbate this issue due to the different properties of the fuels. Therefore, it's advisable to eventually switch to more resistant materials. Seals are available at dieselsend.de, unfortunately, no one has responded to my inquiry yet .
In my case, the faulty ESP manifested as a damp timing belt and a slightly sticky ESP wheel. Possibly, you might also see wet marks along the bottom edge of the large timing belt cover.

Hello,

I just experienced an engine failure at 162,540 kilometers.
My car: Golf GTI TDI.
Engine: AJM, Pump-Nozzle injection.
Power: 115 hp / 285 Nm. After tuning: 148 hp / 347 Nm.
The vehicle was tuned with a chip at approximately 60,000 kilometers.

Engine damage: Hole in the piston, likely caused after it cracked.
The crack started at the bolt hole and extends to the first groove and about halfway into the combustion chamber.

Looking for a used AJM engine!

Please help me.

I sent you a private message!

I had the exact same problem with my engine at around 66,000 km.
However, I received a new engine from VW as a goodwill gesture.
Since then, I've been driving without any modifications.

Engine failure just 500 km after the tuning modification!

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf 3, engine code AAZ, 75 horsepower, diesel.

At 207,000 km, the turbocharger was "helped" along with an aggressive cone, but it failed during the first full-throttle test.
A partially burned piston with a complete loss of pressure in this cylinder - overheating!

Repair is no longer cost-effective. Vehicle change.

Hello everyone.

I drive a Passat Variant (estate) from 1999 with an AJM engine, covering up to 60,000 km without any modifications or tuning.
Then, a PSI tuning box was installed, and the power is now 136 hp.
No mechanical defects so far, except for the mass airflow sensor (MAF sensor) which was replaced at 80,000 km.
AGR (AdBlue Regeneration) deactivated at approximately 85,000 km. Mileage: Currently approximately 105,000 km.
I mostly drive on rural roads, rarely on highways, and often have cold starts, sometimes for as little as 2 kilometers.

Driving this car is a lot of fun - I hope to enjoy it for a long time (I'll drive it until it gives up).
