2005-2006 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI Reliability

I would like to ask you about the reliability of The MK2 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI. I know that they are great overall, but I would like to know what you think about the mechanical and electrical reliability - also, what kind of mileage the engines can survive? Up to 400,000?

The 1.9TDI is much more reliable than the 2.0TDI, but I wouldn't reckon on 400k miles; 400k kilometres, maybe.
