How long will a vw diesel engine last?

What is the best Ford diesal engine?

So far, the 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. But the old 7.3L PSD is running a tight race with the 05 to 07 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8s. They have been proven to be reliable. The only bad 6.0L PSDs were the 03.5 and 04s. Every Ford diesel made has had some good reliability. If you get an upgraded turbo on the 6.4L and a DPF Delete Kit you are good to go for a high mileage diesel. The 6.9L IDI Ford/International diesel was a great engine. Also, the 7.3L IDI Ford/International diesel engine. The 6.9L IDI and 7.3L IDI didn't have a turbo OR great power, but they were great engines. I am liking the new 2011 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 that is in the new Super Duty trucks. It seems like it will be a very reliable and long-lasting high-mileage engine. There really isn't a "best" Ford diesel now days, but the early 6.0Ls and the 6.4Ls are definetly the pieces of sh*t in this round!

Why do diesel engines last so long?

ANY engine (gas/diesel) lasts long as long u take a GOOD CARE of it, I just sold my 1997 camry with 363,000 miles on it and guess what? ORIGINAL engine, sounded like a DREAM. Good fuel, oil, and correct maintenance will tell everything. Due to the fact that a diesel engine uses compression to ignite the fuel rather than a spark plug they must be built much stronger than a gasoline engine. They therefore normally last much longer but they also cost more to build and buy.
