[Vwdiesel] TDI injector life

[S. Shourds]

Anyone have data points on TDI injector life?  I was looking down at the 
odo on the 2000 (ALH) today and it was at 166K miles.  It's been running 
a little mediocre I think, too.  There's usually a little Diesel smell 
at idle and a bit of a popping and this occasional lump in the idle.  I 
checked the timing and there's no engine codes outside of that stupid 
EGR range exceeded thing I can't get rid of (I really need to just kill 
the EGR).  I'm starting to think that it may be worth it go get the 
injectors looked at. How long has the community's injectors lasted?
