I got this Vargas Turbo Tech breather to "alleviate" crankcase pressure. @GTI Jake posted he had one and I figured why not it couldn't hurt. Not sure if it does anything, more for piece of mind.

Sounds like you're on track to drive that thing for another 100K.

All of you folks with your high miles cars make me jealous.
Sold my 2017 Sport after VW warrantied an engine replacement at 37k miles due to cyl 3 failure. Such a love hate with that car. All sorts of little weird shit always going wrong, including a code driving it home day 1 because some monkey didn’t put the oil cap on right. Plus got hit twice in it.
Just a cursed car for me.
We bought another MK7, an Alltrack, that one leaked at 607 miles new without a sunroof and then at 5000 miles when I did my first oil change I found that it was over filled by 2.3L from the factory…
It just crossed 27k miles and it’s still okay so far.

Here was mine at 87k. Not too bad I thought. Only top tier gas since 37k (when I acquired it). Did the carbon cleaning preventatively and replaced the injectors at the same time while I was in there. Car has 97k now.
