scottybo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 my family car used to be a mk1 1994 mondeo with the 1800 td endura engine, died on 335000 miles, engine was still going good, rust got the better of it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes-fat-arsed-estate Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Wow that's incredible a engine out living the car rare these days , I'm a member of uk passats every one talks about the mileage being nothing for a vw , it just got me curious about my good on trusty escort estate which sadly failed on its first pece of rust today along the back crossmember so it shall be delayed a week now before it gets a good run out after being sat 2 years. Cheers for the replys guys. Edited July 23, 2013 by mikes-fat-arsed-estate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 we tried to replace it with another mondeo that was the same, but all the ones me and my dad went to look at were in worse condition than the one we already head! at the very end of its life it took about 10 seconds to start when it was cold but it did start every time. when we used to take it for mot each year the tester that we go to was like 'ffs its still running, why wont it die?!' and he looked more shocked every year when it rolled in for testing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
