When engines were built by engineers not accountants ...

[TheBlaert]

VW 1.9 TDi's are great. I bought an old Passat Estate 8 years ago with the 130bhp PD engine which was destined for the scrap heap. Gave the guy £150, fixed a few minor issues, and it now has 508, 000 miles on it

when engines were built by engineers not software developers

[diogojudice]

The best engine ever made was the Mercedes-Benz OM617.312 from W123 300 MkII. Best engine livespan with 1.000.000 Kms. No doubt.

I have seen an E Class W211 built if I’m not mistaken in 2006 with 803000 km, and the most astonishing thing is actually interior in black leather trim that looks almost like new. I would not say that the car even has km. The worst thing is that someone will buy it cheap, put down mileage and then sell it for double money, which is not really problem. The main problem is that someone will then say that Mercedes isn’t good because at km made so much problems.

Australian 2014 Holden Commodore v6 with 306, 000 kilometres on it, and still going strong. Oil change every 7, 500 ks. 👍

Got a 2001 E53 (X5) with the M54, just turned over 200, 000miles, runs strong and fast with the 5-speed manual and does not leak nor burn oil.

[nigelbarratt]

I sold my last Audi A6 2.0TDi with 336, 000 miles on the clock, after 13 years still running as well as the day I bought it nearly new with no more oil consumption, engine never failed. My replacement A6 Avant 40TDi mild hybrid has 204 BHP and averages almost 50MPG, nearer 60MPG on a long run. 88, 000 miles so far, hardly run in yet.

All this emissions equipment and stuff makes the modern engines kill themselfs overtime

So good to hear your commentary on reliable German engines. We have a 1993 E320 (107, 000 miles) saloon in Colombia with the M104.992 engine. The car was originally sold new in the US and came to Colombia within 12 months. We have had 3 problems, although not issues of the engine itself. The first was the Engine Control Module which blew a transistor. We managed to find a 2nd hand unit from a damaged car in the US and it is operating well. However, we sent the original ECM to a repairer in Miami and have recently received a message from them to say that the unit is irrepairable! In the meantime we think we have found a repairer in Colombia so we will try that.
The other issue is the throttle body. We had the original re-wired and re-installed but we are still getting throttle surging. So we obtained a 2nd hand unit from the US but it was worse! So, we are getting not only the wiring replaced, but mechanical repairs as well - here in Colombia. It is due to be installed next week. Then we will get the original fully repaired.
The 3rd. issue was the biodegradable wiring. We thought about buying a new wiring harness from Germany, but have had the harness fully replaced here and all seems to be well - and cheaper!!
If anyone has any comments, always gratefully received.

Well done. Congratulations and thank you !

Cast Iron inline 6's last forever.

[paullian]

No engine last long without a caring owner and a fantastic mechanic.

[EdgarLuisCosta]

You forget many high reliability engines such the one that was mounted in the Mercedes 190d. VW AVF engine is very reliable too.

Another excellent video. Subscribed due to John Goodman narration.

the m113 is an absoulte unit in my E55 W210, 185K miles beat on everyday still pulls really strong

[samuelbsputhalam]

We own a Skoda octavia 1.9TDI . Over and 17years it still runs like a dream. Only thing is regular service.

[Mbanan]

Man I loveee my m113 daily 500.000km and still runs like new . Also have m156 as fun weekend car with 220.000km and also no problems whatsoever. V8 FTW !!

I recently did a first timing belt change on a VW CAYC 1.6 TDi after 180000 miles as per the service schedule. The belt had absolutely no visible signs of wear, quite impressive when you think it must have gone round the engine best part of a billion times.
