How long can a 2. TDI engine last?
They will last as long as you care to make them last. I feel that owners will generally become disgusted by the fragile nature of the emissions components and part ways with the car LONG before the engine proper has any issues. I have one I service with over 400k miles on it, and it runs/sounds/performs fine still. Most modern cars can last 200,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. Some even hit 300,000 or higher. Can a car last 500,000 miles? Yes, but it’s rare.
