253,000 miles on my 1997 T5
Hi, everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I drove my 1997 850 T5 on business this week and the clock crossed the 253,000 mile mark. My repairs to date are a fuel pump, (175,000), rear main seal, (225,000), and a lower control arm, (250,000). I still get 30 mpg on the highway. Is everyone having this experience or have I been lucky? Please let me know.
Steve

RE: 253,000 miles on my 1997 T5
Have you ever replaced the hoses under the intake for PCV/Oil Seperator system?
How smooth does your automatic transmission shift?
Thanks for giving hope to the rest of us who haven't crossed 150K mileage marker yet.
Do you still have original heater and radiator hoses by any chance?
Do you still have original struts?
