It depends on the lump with VW- the old ASV engines were agricultural but would run forever. I had a Mk1 Octavia 1.9tdi 110 which sounded like a tractor but gave me a seamless (barring the snapped clutch pedal) 45,000 miles. Sold with 155k on the clock for £50 more than I paid for it. Friend of mine has the same lump in a very early Mk4 that is now heading out to 400k but then it is looked after to within an inch of its life! Certainly more reliable than the later updated PD/CR engines
