Broken fuel line on Saturday, rear shocks collapsed on Sunday... Bloody thing :-P
I'd like to see a vag put up with that kind of daily punishment and still be going reasonably strong haha
In all the 313k miles mines done it's only broke down twice, once the lift pump the other was because of some knob damaging the fuel pressure sensor cable.
With the lift pump failure I know it was about to go as it was noisy on the Sunday night and I had to get to work at a new place the next morning. It lasted me 100 miles the trip down and almost got me there, 20 miles short. In high sight I should replaced it Monday morning and been late.
I've just kept on top of services, suspension bushes and it's repaid me with many trouble free miles driving. Even the clutch lasted 300k miles! That was only the release bearing failing, there was loads of meat left on the pressure plate.
