 159,950 miles on the  Caravelle (with new heads at 98K, nothing else though)
 113,000 on the Westy with original heads
 202,000 on the '81 rabbit diesel, no major repairs;
 that totals, just about  475,000 miles for the German watercooled junk. >>

I'm running 170K on the 83.5 Westy (All original parts to my knowledge
[except for tune up crap of course]) and 140K on the 85 Jetta. (Although that
one I don't trust, has a '92 engine in it. It could be right though. Never
know)
