Thread: How many ks has your D1 300tdi done?

I used to know a teacher at Broken Hill who had 840,000 original K's on his,that was two years ago,The Rumbles at Modern Motors used to have a workshop D1 with over 500,000 and that was four years ago. Pat

That's interesting. I've been told that, if the cooling system and other bits are kept up to the mark, the 300Tdi can go for a very long time, as they are relatively simple. Hope its true as we plan to keep ours forever, as a touring vehicle.

Just rolled over 285000 this week on our latest little adventure with the camper so now due for its service.Has had no work needed (Touch wood)

95 300tdi disco done 257thou km,

I have a customer who is also a member here with a 550+km engine, still going well

340.000. Put a new head on it a couple of thousand kays ago. Apart from that, nothing major and still going great.

My Tdi in my defender has near 500,000k's on it and it gets the cooling system flushed every year,never had an issue with it. Pat

Good to hear about all the 300 000 km and over 300.s, seems a few have done a head gasket and some have received a head replacement. It's got me wondering though whether the headgasket and/or head should be done as a preemptive strike between 250 and 300k? Next year we are planning on a Canning, Anne Beadell and Simpson run and maybe I aught to do it at the same time as the rubber band?
