A milestone

Featured Replies

Well six year or ownership (two years in COVID lockdown) and the December 2013 Yeti has clocked over 200,000 miles. Bought the car in 2016 with 5,000 miles on it from VW, they were the original owners..All original except for two sets of rear pads, one set of rear discs, clock spring, one battery, three timing belts and water pumps, one AC tensioner pulley, a lot of mucking around at the start due to a badly fitted reversing camera, caused electrical problems, by the dealer we bought it off, oh an four sets of tyres. Which I think makes it a very good car and still running very well. Very early face lift 2.0 litre diesel 4x4.

Are you servicing the Haldex every 30,000 miles & the DSG every 40,000? 

We now push to do filter/fluid in Gen4 and especially fluid/screen clean in Gen5 every 20,000 miles; even then the screens are blocked with plastic snot.

Hi @roottoot 90% of my driving is highway around eighty miles each way. So the gearbox and haldex get very little use. The gearbox has been serviced four times in that period. The gap to the most recent one was 60,000 miles and the mechanic showed me the oil which was still clean with only a hit of burnt smell. The haldex has only had one oil change at 60,000 miles and still works perfectly and will be done shortly. The engine oil was changed ever 9,000 miles however since 100,000 miles is changed every 6,000 miles. 

That is good.

People who have 100% of highway driving are not so lucky with their Haldex. 

That is a lot of Engine Oil & Filters though. 

I have the same spec and age vehicle, I have had it since the confinement so 2.5 years, it had 80k miles on it and I have put another 40k on which is very very high for me but due to changing circumstances, also very high considering the travelling restrictions.

 

I intend to take it to well beyond 200K, my tyres which were not new when I got it still have plenty of tread and have worn equally so I may even beat you for tyre longevity, that has been a real surprise for me, they have lasted far longer than on any previous vehicle and with the 4x4 system I expected less life.
