Yep guys...200,000km's clocked over today!!

The R's birthday pressie was:

oil and filter change
gearbox oil change
rear diff oil change
heldex oil and filter change
fuel filter
pollen filter
spark plugs
front pads
rear pads

all genuine parts used yesturday morning for its big clock of 200k!

The R still goes awesome, sounds cool and last weekend on a long trip managed 7.6 L/100 on the freeway!

Now the golf is used every day the km will just keep going up...........so I must now be the proud owner of the highest KM golf 4 R32 in Australia? World?

Wowsers! Mines at 138000 and i thought i had just about the highest K's in Australia! At least I know i'm in the clear for around another 60'000!

[Big_M]

That's cool.
I'm due service now just tad over 90. Only owned it less than six months, had 72500 when got it ! Not bad going!
Alas will have to wait till get back from cairns!

200,000km hey. that'd be just broken in for a V6 VW engine right?
awesome to see the car is still going strong!

[pansy]

Awesome work, good to see I've got alot more enjoyment to come out of the R. Only at 100k now, but plenty to come. As to the highest km's, I think there was in the the states with something like 160k miles on it. Still a bit to go dylan, keep up the good work with the car.

barely run in mate Keep on 'Dubbin!

[balkanac]

congrats mate!!
just wondering, what did you have to change on it so far, suspension wise, bushes, shockies, wheel bearings etc... Mine has 107k on the clock and i changed the front wheel bearings 4 times in 3 years!!

At the moment thats all Ive had to do except 4 tyres on top of that list, Ive only had it since about 189,000km...........think clutch will be next by the feel of things! :[

2003 MK4... now 167000.... higher than any golfs in the carsales.com.au in QLD, ha ha ha....

That car should easily do 300 000 kilometers,I once did that in a MK2 1.8 Jetta.

[schoona]

Awesome work!
