Title: v6 , whats the highest mileage?
Post by: omegod on 02 October 2008, 11:28:07
Just wondering how far these engines can go with proper servicing and belt changes?

Is there a difference between longevity of 3.0 and 2.5 ?

Are there any monster milers on here?

My old S reg CDX past 225,000 before the heater matrix let go and with the work/cost involved she went to Heaven.
Friend of mine has a 2.5 Gls as a taxi and thats on 285,00 and still going strong.

I bought a 2.0 W plate on 120k and ran it on LPG until 160k and the only fault (apart from wear and tear) was a manifold and cam sensor.  Was stil driving like new when i sold her.  :y

Rust was starting to take a good hold though  :'(
