Hi All,

How many high mileage Superbs are there knocking about on this forum? I've seen a fair few used as Taxis so presume there must be many 200k and a few at or over 300?

I finished paying mine back this year and have taken the decision to run it until it makes sound financial sense to swap to a newer second hand car. By the end of this month it'll be on new ish (fitted at 170k) discs and pads, new shocks/springs/mounts, and later this year a new set of tyres which should see me to within 10k of the second belt and water pump service which I expect I'll need late next year.

So from your experiences what are the big ticket items that tend to go first and what are the ball park for fixing these?

I'm expecting to hear about clutch (starter and master cylinder at the same time?), and injectors. Perhaps some of the suspension bushings and joints?

So far during my ownership I've had issues with the turbo actuator, cruise control stalk, and xenon. The latter by the way is expensive! I'm not convinced they're worth the £150/bulb cost! I'm generally keeping an eye on the MPG watchin out for any sudden drops but thankfully it's been consistant from 102k to now which is a little over 190k miles.

Cheers,

Wes.
