I never said that my car didn't have build-up. What I'm saying is that if the build-up isn't impacting the engine's operation, reliability, or durability then why should I care? My car is in your "definitely will break" envelope, so I guess we'll see what happens.
Well, my CC has 61K, no issues, avg. consumption is 28.9 (lot of city too). Driving often between C. Springs and Denver, on open road always hits 36-37mpg.
My wives Tiguan had manifold issue when it had 32K. It was serviced in VW dealership with [censored] 5W40 castrol, and older person was driving car. Based on the condition of brake pads and rotors, I think that car never saw 4000rpms, like EVER!
