might do a search on oil consumption

[JGeorge264]

Mine has just shy of 157 k with nothing major.. typical window issues, egr needs cleaning once in a while and its thirsty for oil but all in all the best vehicle I've ever owned.

at 96k and no issues, yes, oil consumption is something for which you should be on the lookout, but otherwise, running fine
service is relatively cheap as well, at least with respect to my Audi's (imagine that...)

That's a hard question to answer.

Pride of ownership tends to outweigh longevity here. The vast majority of the owners here tend to perform preventative maintenance at a much higher level on the VX than they do for their other toys so the VX's seem to be holding up quite well for the most part. Is the longevity because of it being a well built vehicle or because of the TLC???

There have been some seized engines, some trannys go TU, some ABS issues, some EGR issues - but I don't think that they are outside the 'norm'.

i got my vx at 39k

its now approaching 74k


its been to the dealership exactly once.. for an ABS light and a front bearing repack (which i could have done myself if necessary)

the abs issue was never resolved.. but im feeling motivated today so i may just take care of it today.. the dealership quoted me 3000 to replace the abs module.. i picked up a used module for a hundred bucks and will spend about 20 on brake fluid... time will tell how long it takes to do the install though

other than that.. i have had to replace my fuel pressure regulator, 1 headlight bulbs, 2 fog light bulbs a tail light bulb and 3 pcv valves probably 6 quarts of oil burned between changes

the only other issues ive had came from fixing what wasnt broken until it was broken

"the only other issues ive had came from fixing what wasnt broken until it was broken"

& the labor involved with sorting the thousands of pix taken of every turn of the wrench???
