Mine has just clicked over 335k, been on gas since 220k. Tappets need resetting fairly often but I just service it every 10k and it just keeps on going.

Mine has 320k on it and it has been on gas for the last 100k. My last tank got me 380km and used 88L, which was stop/start during the week for work and mostly highway on weekend.

I paid $7 each for the rear studs+nuts today, they are simple to replace, you pretty much bash out the old ones and bash the new ones in and check the wheels nuts every so often after you do it.
