Average life of the 1.8T?
Hi all! What is the average life of a 1.8T? I have an AWP at 85K and just had the timing belt and water pump replaced. It is still alot of fun, but how long will that last?

Cup is at 122,000 miles now and her 1.8 is still doing it, and doing it well. She is leaking a little oil around the valve cover gasket and i'm going to get it replaced post haste. Other than that, Cup is treating me good.

at 170K. It's in the shop for a blown head gasket (internal leak).
Still going; been chipped since 24K. No door panels, 3rd clutch, 7th set of tires? 3rd waterpump, and 2nd transmission (replaced unnecessarily).
