FTO AUSTRALIA

My one has almost 230,000. Just want to know average life time or the reasons to death in final.

First of all, Welcome to the Club.

My car has done 160k on the chassis and around 120k on engine (has been swapped) .. But in saying how long it will last till death will depend on how it has been driven, how it has been serviced, how often... etc etc.

153000.Not too sure but they will probably start to use a lot of oil and blow smoke at around 280k-300k mark and have low compression.

Im on 94K but mine is not really a daily driver anymore.

160

I'm at around 112000K's but engine has done approx 35000K's.

My one has done about 147000km, and it seems like its going well (and if its anything like the 94 lancer engine, you'l be good for up to about 300000ish.. my lancer is only starting to die now..)

88000

205,000 needs a good major service and it should be smooth again.

I've done over 200k. No doubt it's wrong as everything is wound back before it gets to Australia they say!

well,thanks all.
Any idea for rebuild engine? I found a little oil side of the enginea(I guess that's could be bad news), but driving is alright never off road when I traveled between Perth and Norseman. (3-times return in a month,normally).Should I go RPW for some advice? Any one have been there before?

Yeah get it replaced with a low km 2nd hand one it should cost you under 3k including labour.To get it reconditioned will easily cost 7k+.Thats what i was told.

135,000 on everything but engine
original engine had done about 130,000 kms and blew up because i dropped a washer down the intake manifold (f**k you to anyone who laughs) and started it
engine was in pretty shocking condition though, last owner didnt take very good care of it so wasnt that horrible (engine had oil leaks everywhere

and now i have a new engine thats done about 50,000


i found my last engine would backfire a bit at around 7-8000revs and also had a fair bit of power loss

so im guessing that if you cant feel there is something wrong with your engine that it isnt going to die soon

i bought my car at 118,000 and now its got 143,000. Im looking for a daily driver though, kills me to see it go through 10000k milestones lol.

where did you get the new one only 50k that sounds really rare!!!

189000, looking to keep it in good condition as I'm selling it to my friend in 6 months and gonna buy a white gpx like D's.

155000

124,000kms and currently has 2 oil leaks in separate locations. Getting rebuilt in 1 week though!

Guess it depends on how it has been driven/maintained, as has already been said...

Why start your engine if you know something was in the engine! I had back luck similar to yours ages ago as well! I was walking past the front of the car while shoving a drill bit into the drill. It slid out and went under the inlet manifold and dropped into the timing case! Didn't start my engine but gave me and excuse to change the timing belt!

Bought mine with 46,000 on the clock in 2004. I just passed through 111,111 the other day.
