I will do my very best to reach the goal. Im a proud a2 member. right now im driving my new purchased 'old' 1.4 tdi with depronmans fine remap just added. So there is a long way to reach 24k in the 1.2 tdi.Only another 24k and you will be topping our leader board for the highest mileage A2 on original engine.
To save everybody doing the calcJust a fresh update from the cockpit! 530.133 km wooohoo!!!
May I ask whats normally kills the 1.4 petrol?
Can I join the club now...
That's done mate. Some impressive mileage from the earlier AUA engine. The BBY engine doesn't seem to have the same longevity.

Great tip @Vorsprung durch Technik ! I'll make sure my 1.4 petrol gets the oil separator changed next serviceOil consumption through bad rings but a compression test would confirm this, piston slap, bad maintenance the worst being the oil separator getting blocked causing high oil consumption. The oil separator is supposed to be a service item yet most never get changed and when they get blocked the engine just burns oil very slowly. These engines are very reliable if maintained properly.

Your welcome, i learnt the hard way through problems i've had with our 1.4 petrol. It's in my thread if you look. The Cobalt dream machine. and this one Piston slap and Cobalt Dream Machine, it' not good! Despite this setback i love the car and it's very sweet reving 1.4. I have a new engine that i'll be building up when i can get round to it.
Morning all,
As stated earlier in the week, today I was to reach 225k miles. I’m now a quarter of the way to the next milestone. Still on original engine and components.
