I did 280 000km on mine before selling...luckily had only the following problems
electric window motor failure on 2 doors.
thermostat plastic housing cracked.
replaced 1 pulley...think by the alternator...
All of this happened at around 220 000km...so not bad at all..
Common VR6 faults?

the pedal will start dropping under your foot when standing still with foot on the brake - or it will simply fade and you have to pump. Those are most common symptoms.
