Guaranteed? For as long as Skoda warranty is valid. After that it is for as long as you take good care of it to extend its life...

Khmmmm.....I was reads a resourse this engine only 150 000 kilometers!! This is information true or not?

Who can say? What was the resource, and why 150,000 km? Why not 150,001? or less?

It's a mechanical complex part, which means that one small item can cause it to fail completely.

There's no reason why a modern engine shouldn't last for at least 500,000 kilometers if properly looked after. I sold my Nissan Micra '92 this summer after 15 years and over 360,000 km, it was still running OK and I'd never once had to do anything about the engine (even the clutch was original and still working perfectly).
On the other hand, a head gasket or a cam belt could give up anytime, even after a week if faulty.
But as Quinten has pointed out, warranty is another matter. Probably depends on were you live. In Sweden it's two years irrespective of mileage.

I am reading this information in our website.
This is engine disposable. It is not a subject to restoration.

Friends, do you have a official information from VAG about this question?

Quinten · 18-10-2007, 11:39

I think language has come in the way of a simple answer...

No engine is guaranteed to last to a certain amount of kilometers. You can have a warranty which would cover failure in a defined period, but that is still not a guarantee that it won't fail.

150,000 km is not what I would expect an engine to last for, unless it has been neglected from day one. Like swedishskoda says, 500,000 km should be reasonable, when looked after.

Can you put the link here, to show us where you got that number from?

This is reality of our days. Autoconcerns are done cars for 3-4 years before the end of the guarantee period. For example New Toyota Corolla or Nissan Almera Classic have a body from thin metal.
