  • VW Passat 2.0 TDI Estate - Buying a high mileage (+30k/year) VW diesel? 23 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    Is the old adage about German diesel's true? That assuming the FSH is genuine these engines are more than capable of running up huge miles without any problems. Would you be concerned that the car's been doing +30k miles a year?
