Hello vvangelov ,the 3.0 tdi will go up to 300 000km if the oil change was regular at 10 000km. If not 180 000 240 000km ,that is my opinion. Mine was at 210 000 the ratle at the morning started. Now its at 240 000km and,im planing to replace it soon. The engine must be pulled outh for a proper replacment of the chain drive ,and reseal the block. VBbH.
