  1. Hello everyone.
    Is anyone interested in seeing what a worn-out engine looks like after more than 350,000 km? This incredible machine has never stopped. From the very first day, it was driven quite fast and under full load. On the other hand, it was taken care of and cherished like a pet. Now, the time has come to either throw it away or repair it and refine it in detail. I don't think I can throw it away. I've been waiting for another sports car for everyday use, but that just hasn't happened. I bought it new in Slovenia in 2005. In the meantime, nothing has impressed me enough to replace it. The new models looked ugly to me. Especially the Mk 4. The fridge door handles, the miserable screen inside, and the unnecessary amount of doors disappointed me.

    The engine has already been removed and disassembled. I'm shocked at how dirty it is inside. The oil I used was a disaster. Pictures are coming next

    The credit for this horror goes to Mobil 1 5W-50 synthetic oil. Replacement at 15,000 km
