It all depends on how well it's taken care of. Keep up with the routine maintenance (oil/filter changes every 5k with approved synthetic, timing belt every 60K, etc.), and the engine will last 200K or more. Neglect it and you'll have lots of problems.

I've seen guys with 200k+ miles. It all depends on how well you maintain it. Regular oil changes, seal changes,timing belt changes, tune ups,letting the motor cool down after a drive, and simple upkeep will keep it going fora long time.
Themain killers of 1.8t motorsare timing belt failure, timing belt tensionerbreaking, and oil sludge.

Timing belt should be changed with the tensioner before 90K mi.
Oil changes every 10K mi. with a Mann W94025 oil filter.
