Highest mileage DC5

[fenomeno26]

Post your mileage. I have 48K miles

What kind of problems you had so far. If you had any major problems please post.

What parts needed replacement?

Anything one should know if they intend to keep their car above for a long term.

 

[Suped]

Have just hit 52k miles.

No major problems apart from air-con system. Had the a/c compressor replaced under warranty and then a few other parts done at TGM. Get oil & oil filter changed every few months which helps.

Also had the spark plugs replaced at last service. :lol:

That`s about it upkeeping wise.

on the subject of mileage, anyone got theres actually reading miles correctly after the old SVA km change?

my display reads 41000 but the car has done 7000 less, i was informed that the display could not be changed to read propperly the conversion from kilometers to miles.

eg, when i got it it had 22k kilometers and when changed to miles it read 22k miles.... (22k kilometers is about 15k miles)

not had any problems... apart from my AEM fighting with 5th gear and the air con but then thats my fault!

mines a 01 came over with 14km, (8k miles) the total now is about 22k miles,

nothing ill to report, not even a bulb, changed 1 wiper blade and thats it,

 

[iDrew]

Mines an 02 plate, with 26k miles :wink:

It's my daily drive, all that's gone wrong (touch wood) is the rear number plate bulb needed changing :lol:

 

[ally_mac]

mine is a 04 with 23k on it. Only problem I had was with the coilpack, but think it was just a loose connection has the car hasnt skipped a beat since (touch wood)

 

[kingston]

Came over with 5500 on, clocl now reads 26kish

53 plate but is an Feb 04 model

Nothing wrong yet but lots of strange sounds and noises that apparently are nothing to worry about :?

 

[Gaz 1]

Who said that?? Mine has been recalibrated to the correct mileage reprentation. And now is reading fully in mileages.

 

[Slynx]

Nothing at all

 

[BadBadtz]

[dazza]

2004 with 18.5k, had it 7 months and only a passenger wiper blade

If something goes wrong tommorow, i'm not going to be happy :wink: :lol:

 

[Evil_Weasel]

Think I'm fast approaching 50k now, and only a fresh set of tyres and new front brake pads that have needed replacing! :wink:

 

[azriDC5R]

mine (2002) had just clocked 92000 kms, no problem really apart from those creaking recaros & some odd rattle from the under carriage area... thats bout it.. still having all the stock mounting with me...

 

[anticlaus105]

91k on the clock now. Some of that was in km's tho.

 

[Hybrid-Theory]
