The word "unblowupable" has been thrown around a lot these days...
If looked after, the 1.9 will last for ever and ever. The fuel pump is particularly indestructible. You'll die before it does :)

Personally I've got 165K, but I often hear of well maintained diesels going 250 and more. Neighbour of mine bought an ex-taxi which had been around the clock twice :shock:

Just make sure you do the belts and gaskets REGULARLY.
