I wonder if some of this is down to the poor things having a hard life, maybe before you gents got hold of them? Mine is a 2007 2 litre 120 with 134,000 clocked up and since I got it two years ago it has done the length and breadth of the UK twice over. It will sit at 80 all day on mways and runs at just over 2 1/2 thousand rpm at that speed with standard 65 aspect ratio tyres, never had to rev it any more than that. That level of rpm should allow today's diesels to last forever, they are more like ships engines than cars. I do change the oil and all filters at 8,000 miles though as I like the van so much I don't want to lose it. Fingers crossed!
I say this because the handful of folk I've allowed to drive it had no idea they couldn't rev a diesel (yes I know Golf GTID drivers are nuts) like a petrol and were all heavy footed until I corrected them. Anyway good luck gents.
