Around the world in an A2

My 1986 Jetta is coming up on a milestone that I thought was kinda cool.

When I got it, it had about 238,000 km on it. It's now coming up on 278,000.

40,000 km is a trip around the world.

I thought it was kinda neat.

Hi Volks!

Rob Guenther wrote (and Erik fixed the quoting):

My 1987 Golf 16V completed its first light second (some

299,700 kilometres) about half a year ago. It now stands at some 324,000 -- only 56,000 more, and it'll have covered the distance to the moon. That would be a fine thing to celebrate on its 20th birthday, now that I come to think about it.

Yours, Erik.

500K next year. My website at:

So what's the milestone you're coming up on? Seven times around the world?

A good one would be 383K - that's a trip to the moon (~238K miles), or

766K (to the moon and back).

40,000 km is the mileage that she's done since owning the car... 278,000 km - 238,000 km = 40,000 km.

What is this Canadian statistics? :)

That's only 147560 miles.

Thats only 172360 miles. Is this a gasser?

172360/18 years = 9575.5556 miles a year. Way below the average

My VW clocks are by no means super duper high but... I have ~191000 on my 1994 A3 Jetta gasser.

~19100 a year or:

308064 km and 30806 kms a year.

Not really.

62000 miles which is average for your year.

62000/4 = 15200 miles a year.

That's good for a 16V to go above 200000 miles.

My 1986 Golf diesel has ~286000 miles or ~461290 km.

That ~25627 km a year or ~15888 miles which is average.
