I reckon the kilometres are OK. As long compression is OK, servicing is up to date, and you look after the thing, you should see another 100K. Easy.

In relation to the thread title....how many is too many 3's in 533333333333333EYA?

MY B4 has 130k+ at the moment, and runs like new..
As with everything, if you look after it, it will look after you!.
In saying that I probably aint looking after mine the best at the moment.. its getting some harsh treatment:)

it goes really well.. I pretty much don't hesitate to kick it against anything.. next time we meet I'll take ya for a spin.. it's faster then Kosti's too.

But I service the car every 3000-5000km's and check fluids pretty much daily

funny story that.. :scare2:
PM will be sent.

Im now on the 164000 mark and honestly the car is giving me alot of grief! The f**ker is overheating like ass. Just befor I went over seas I spent $400 on a new radiator, thermostat, seals ect. It seemed good but after giving it a little a few days ago it was back to its old tricks and I boiled the coolent or whatever so tomoz my uncle and I are going to run a few tests to make sure and I am hoping its not a blown head gasket. I think it may be a falt in the piping somewhere.

So my advise is to check all your piping, radiator ect.

150k isn't massive k's. But what you have to remember is that the turbo's will be the first thing to go. And with 150k, i would be taking the dumps off and checking the 'play' in the shaft/s of turbo/s.

Then if they are a ok..... then away you go.

Just for a bit of info, my 'shafts' where checked (oooh and yes i enjoyed it!!) at 90k, car no has 100k on it and the primary turbo had play in it then.

But each car and turbo will be different.

God the amount of times that i have said im guna sell my B4 and buy something else....... I went thru this same thing (and still sorta am) a couple of weeks ago.

I looked around at what i could get and i think for the $$$$ i would only get a 2nd hand wrx or alike!!!

I dunno, i was thinking of buying a Hachiroko (toyota sprinter) and doing it up slowly over the next few years and using it and my VP commonwhore as a daily driver till i get the sprinter the way i want it!!!!
