Re: Whats your mileage?

97 164 Super 24v 92k miles drives beautifully.

95 164 QV 24v 165k miles (head rebuild at 90k) was driving just as well as the Super until mechanic made a **** up of the cambelt change and somehow caused it to have an oil leak. Now it's off-road pending being sorted out.

95 Super TS 140k and drives beautifully.

Re: Whats your mileage?

166 2,0 V6 TB 150000 km = 94000 miles. Nothing critical to report. But shocks are being changed soon, and wishbones in front are giving in as well.

Re: Whats your mileage?

My 1990 164TS had 231,000 miles on the clock before I traded it in for my 2004 166TS. It never skipped a beat, the engine was superb and I had to do little to it over the 160,000 miles I owned it for.

My 166TS has 55,000 miles on the clock. Nothing to report yet( although not had it long), although it doesn't feel has solid as the 164.
Time will tell.

Re: Whats your mileage?

2000 156 2 litre TS, 93,000 miles and still runs like a dream, you would never guess it had done so many miles.

156 2.4 JTD

Re: Whats your mileage?

132,922 on my 2000 X plate 156 2.4 JTD and goes like stink (despite probably needing a cleaning/replacing of the MAF sensor). And it only smokes as much as my 3 year old 2.0tdi Zafira when I floor it and that's only that's got 65,000ish on it.

I've got a few bubbles of rust starting up above the windscreen but thats it, despite numerous stone-chips on the bonnet.

Re: Whats your mileage?

84K 2.5 AUTO '99. Bodywork has a few scratchs/scuffs and a tiny scratch of rust where its thru galvanised.
Had top end rebuilt after tensioner let go at 60K but otherwise everything works except glovebox boot release. (suspect fractured orange wire in boot rubber connector.
Bella having a new filter oil and rear pads at week end. Suspension bit "loose " but still comfortable and holds road just fine.

No no she's still good for a few thousand more at least

Am approaching 142000 on 166 '99 2.5 - though am suffering from the stone chips too
Had front springs, rear bushes and MAF done at around 120,000 and is now a new car again !

Re: Whats your mileage?

1999 166, 2.5v6 with 94,000 miles. Engine as good as new, just wish I could say the same for the suspension - needs replacing really but I don't want to sell my house to pay for it
