[QUOTE=Dorchester2;2929488]I've heard about several kv6 2.5 still in good condition which have exceeded 300,000 km (around 190,000 miles) here in France.
Provided it is well cared for and regularly serviced there's no problem at all.
Mine is a 193,000 km autobox, drives a treat & in brilliant condition and I hope I'll die before her!
/QUOTE]I agree, these are a very robust engines provided the maintenance is kept up. I changed over the engine and auto trans to synthetic oil several years back and have done the timing chains, water pump, aux. belt, and keep a close eye on the cooling system. At 100,000Km it runs strong, loves to rev and shows no signs of oil burning, leaks or odd noises. I have also removed the plastic engine cover to lower the heat retention on the engine components.
