Default Who's got the highest mileage TT
So I had a 4S and loved it. But I would wake up in cold sweats worrying about bore scoring (I already did the IMS). So I took the plunge into the Mezger world .. and glad I did.

Part of the reason was because of what I heard about these engines being bulletproof.

So I am curious, who has the highest mileage TT that still runs reasonably well?

We haven't had an update from him in awhile. Would be nice to see how close he is to 1,000,000

I think T2 wins. 633,500+ miles back in March.

Why is it that you are able to put so much mileage on your car again? Do you use it to travel for work or something?

Do you do your own maintenance?

Several people have wondered in several threads, any coolant line problems?
