Total engine hours to expect?
Greetings folks,
along the lines of this engine hours survey, how many hours (total time between overhaul - TTBO) can I expect out of A4 with periodic maintenance performed. For example, oil changes in the range of 40 - 70 hours, regular tune ups, and using MMO as a fuel additive.
Note the engine has the indigo electronic ignition, PCV addition, and I'm installing the external oil filter within the next two weeks.
I've been told by others that diesels can last up to 8,000 hours (if well maintained), while gasoline engines, if well maintained, are in the 1,500 - 3,000 hour range. Is this true?
I realize the standard caveat applies - your mileage may vary (YMMV), so I asking for what may be reasonably expected.
Thanks,
Jeff
