Our 1993 965 has finally been broken in. On a 1200km round trip to Montreal
this weekend, she finally rolled over to 150 000kms!! 11 years and the
engine is still basically new, at least according to this newsgroup.
Never a check engine light for 150K Kms either, so that means none for the
next 150, right? ;-)...
The old car still held its own again all those new overpowered SUVs that
have been clogging the left lane - got around 9-10L per 100kms doing
120-130kph all the way (and spinning at RPMs low enough to make my VW diesel
jealous ;-) ) - and the suspension suffered no damage even after dealing
with some of the worst roads I have ever seen (Ontario rebuilds its roads
every so often, I guess Quebec has better things to spend money on....
health care or something, who knows?).
So is she finally a "high mileage" Volvo? Or do I have to wait till 200K Kms
for that priveledge? - by that time 250-300K Kms might be the minimum,
right?
150,000 kms?!
I service a '96 3litre 24 965 with 250k *miles* on the clock (400,000km)
original gearbox and engine untouched (though does burn abit of oil)
