Coming up on 8 years of ownership in mid march.
Age is a number that indicates the amount of experience we accumulated on this planet earth.and here i was wondering if i was too old (i'll be 50 in May) to own buy a GTI. thats awesome. can't wait until mine gets delivered.
Yeah same. I never kept a vehicle Longer than 3 years. But I am keeping it because OLD IS GOLD!!!! MK6 GTI’s built better and strongerI’m over 3yrs now, longest I’ve ever kept a vehicle
Understandable being an Alberta driver. Alberta winters are substantialSold the GTI to buy a Crosstrek. … Yeah, I know.
There’s a thread if you’re curious why anyone would do such a thing: https://www.golfmk6.com/forums/index.php?threads/time-to-move-on.402931/
Very well stated, and quite true. 1Ashchuckton is a tad older than me but I'm right up there too at 70. It's just a number and if one maintains a positive outlook on life your outcomes are always so much better.Think of it as reaching another level. Surviving life and waking up the next day. Being a better person. Stronger and wiser. All we have is the moment of now. As I type this. This moment is all that matters. Don’t let your age dictate what you can or can’t do. It’s all in our mind.

That’s great.I plan to keep her to the bitter end. Either she makes it to 200k miles or she explodes. Whichever comes first.
Have the updated water pumps failed as well?Bought my GTI used in 2014 with 7,9XX approaching 9 year of ownership in August.
I would say it's been a good 9 years , but not not perfect. Too many waterpumps to count. Think I'll be replacing another one soon .
Love reading the high milage posts gives me great hope that I'll make it close to 200k, plan to keep the car forever. But it will take some time lol. My commutes are short distance . Passed 51,000 recently.
dont you think you should change the 4th fuel injector as well? or do you mean you changed all 4... 3x????Not a MK6 but my MK5 2.0TSI is going strong @ 159k now with stage 2 for half of that. Its been driven pretty hard but still going! Waterpump, 3x fuel injectors, RMS, couple failed PCVs, and other sensors. My DSG mechatronic straight up doesn't let me do the basic settings anymore in VCDS but other than that its got a DSG tune and it drives and shifts great.
