Highest milege VR6 engine

[balkanac]

it goes back to 0 yes. But you lose the km symbol from memory.

Soooo if it says 150,000kms then its 150,000kms
If it says 150,000 then its 300,000 kms + 150,00kms

Whats the point of odo resetting itself after 300,000km?? MK4s dont do that

When they hit 300,000 you lose the 'total' symbol from the odo display.

It's probably a design oversight.

I barely drive mine, so I wont hit 300,000 until 2011. Still, i'll let you all know when it happens

300 k.s

Yes, mine has seen 300k and still going strong. regular oil and filter changes and premium petrol. will do 8 l/100k on a trip and runs like a dream.
is much more fun than any other small hatchback !

I think that you are throwing away good oil at 5000 km, if less than 12 months. The additives and base oil are able to provide protection for much longer than that.

You're disregarding the fact that its a VR6, the heat in that engine bay shortens the life of almost every consumable. Its more than worth changing the oil every 5,000 on these cars.
