thats what i heard too. im trying to keep the car in the best possible shape i can. i really like it and i want to keep it for a while. we’ve had cars that were not maintained well and they were falling into pieces close to 100k and they werent worth the money we had to put in em. i dont have a problem doing maintenance, if it needs to be done, then ill go get it done. i talked to Travis at the dealership and he informed me that he still uses the regular factory oil in his 2.7T and hes got a LOT more miles on his than me, plus he drives his car very hard.
MK4 30R: im also wondering about turbos. i know if they start making that police siren sound or the dentist drill(imminent failure) theyre done. I dont seem to find a typical amount of miles where they go, it just varies so much from car to car. Is it all basically because of the driver? is it worth looking into better oil lines for mine or just wait till theyre done and just buy new k04s and new lines then?
