Sigh!

At least being a late 2010 car we are good for 5 years or 140,000 miles on the timing belt.

So

(i) How long could I risk pushing the timing belt past 5 years, but perhaps not to 140,000 miles (100,000 sounds like a nice round figure)

(ii) Whats the odds she excretes the odure once out of the 5 year extended warrenty period?

(iii) Is she, the engine likely to be good for 200,000 miles?

Need to get the 1998 Steyr Puch back on the Road as a reliable backup veh perhaps.

I've read recently - can't remember where - that taxi drivers dont rate the 1.6 cr unit for longevity. I've also read horror stories regarding egr and horrendous costs.

 

Apparently the 2.0 cr lump is far better.

sigh!

(As I had cause to fear)

fingers crossed ah kin prove the taxi men wrong!
