Hello finally! My ball CDI 03/2001 has exceeded the 200000 Km mark. Facts: approx. 4,15 liters average consumption, min. 2,8 l max. 6,2 l. 3777,61 € for maintenance/rep./TÜV/insurance. Tuning at 13000km. After the first inspection self-maintenance (oil 3l SAE10W40 light running oil, air & oil filter approx. 30€). 2 sets winter tires 1 set summer tires + additional 2 rear so. tires by def. shock absorbers. 2 new windshields (stone impact) 1 new glass roof (stone impact) 107000km new turbocharger cracked at the Krummer 143000km new rear wheel bearing 146000km new clutch/diesel filter (SC 976.66€) 159000km windshield wiper rods lubricated 160000km V-belt renewed 199000km new rear shock absorber 201000km turbocharger cracked again at the Krummer (newer already purchased) and exhaust slowly dissolves. Disadvantage: In winter with snowgut (from ca10cm) one can overtake the rear part or get into slingling, because of the front tar cutters and low weight. A SR can not be switched off. Expensive inspections/replacement parts at SC. Status: Very satisfied, driving every day 200km work path I hope it stays that way. From there it goes to 300000 km (2007) Greetings Hary
