Nope just not used very much. The engine isn't officially run in until 3000 miles.... That's 1203.4 miles, an average of 24.068 miles per year 😀 crad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The Sportcross has more miles on it than my 1991 Volvo 940 but it drives like a new car, how the do the Japanese do it? 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes these things pop up and have clearly been loved to get so far. However, in this case, I think it’s had shit welding on top of shit welding; whatever it’s needed it’s reluctantly had. Cheaply. If I had an account I’d probably bid. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to remember to take a photo for this thread when it does tick over. Just remembered I need to update this thread... 2100032 miles Mrs SiC was driving along the motorway a few days before Xmas. Glow plug light started flashing - on VAG this is an engine fault. But weirdly no bonging or warnings on the display. She phoned me to ask what to do. As it was driving fine, I told her to carry on. 2 minutes later, I got another call to say she lost power on the slip road and it died without being able to restart. When it got home, I read the codes to find "Low fuel rail pressure". Not good. Checking under the fuel pump metering valve... Was this horror of metal flakes. These are mushed so finely that they will have circulated through the rail, into all the injectors and back into the tank. Clogging not only the rail, injectors but also sticking inside the fuel pumps as they contain magnets for the motor. Hence its around £3k in new parts or around £1k-1.5k in second hand parts to fix that. Apparently a common problem on 2008-2014 era Bosch CP4 pumps and affects many brands. So time for me to hand in my membership card, as I'm out! Shame as everything else was working absolutely perfectly. Seems criminal but a car is no use with a engine that doesn't run. Over 11 years of ownership between my parents and myself. That's the last I saw of it.

Blake's Den Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I learnt to drive in a V reg Micra K11. It was averaging over 1000 miles a week. And not 1000 motorway miles but 1000 miles of learner driver clutch riding, gear crunching, over revving and emergency stopping. It still drove suprisingly well on 80k when I passed my test. I'm guessing that the Pug 208 further up this thread was used for something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Trusty camper is still plodding on, mileage has slowed a bit recently as i've been using the golf for work. Had to change the clocks for the newer style as the old ones failed but managed to get them mileage matched 😁 Score as of yesterday: mat_the_cat, 808 Estate, bunglebus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popsicle Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 As the Caddy has gone all twatish VAG on me I've been running around in the Vectra Estate most of this week, so first entry for it hitting a milestone today. We picked this up for £1k, 2.5 years ago with 84k on it. Its hardly put a foot wrong in all that time/miles. Might fuck the caddy off and go back to this old beast, see if I can pass the 369k I put on the Zafira.

I didn’t seem to do all that many miles over lockdown, but it’s starting to creep up now. Still running just as well as it did when I bought it though and I can’t see any reason why it won’t make it to 200k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
