    MK3 Golf CL Longevity

    Hey all. Checking out a 4 door manuel cl tommorow. Currently has 215,XXX k's on it but aside from that, appears to be fairly clean & seems to have a service history (supplied logbooks). Just out of curiosity...how long roughly can these motors last ? I've had a few cars get easily past the 300,000. And whilst I only plan to own this car for a year or two, would be keen to know how many more k's I can get out of the car.

    is it a 2.0 or a 1.8L ? look after your engine .. and it'll last for a long long time .. it's a dub !

    I see Mk3s in the mid 300s often, the engines never break. i only ever sell heads or sumps for them.

    Loon is right, my uncle owned a MK3 which had over 400,000km's on it when he sold it (and was still going strong), maintain a car and it will last.
    MK2 - *Insert list of dealer purchased extra's/standard features here*
    80 series - The MK2's BIG, Sooty, polar opposite...
