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. |
Nice to hear from you, hope you are C-19 free and come out of the present terrible
situation soon, safe and well. Changed my engine to semi-synthetic about 30K miles back. No timing chains on the KV6, just rubber toothed belts
