High mileage experiences.

Soon I leave this part/thread. We just decided to move forward/backward to a new van (new to us). It's going to be a 6.1 Ocean, 5 years old and around 60k Km - let's start the journey again.
Our van has done 264 k km in 21 years (Mai 2005) and it we definitely going to miss some parts of it.

Mine has over 300000 still a smooth runner and I trust her te get me anywhere i need. Only had two issues. The oil cooler coil went last year so that wasn't nice. Had to do a full engine flush and replace the part. And the non return fuel valve in the tandem pump has gone so that would meen a new pump but I will be getting around the starting issues with an inline valve when I get the time. With regular oil changes and use good quality fluids and premium fuel she will last forever.

My 2006 has 343,000, two water pumps, one alternator and a cracked manifold which I will change one day. EGR deleted which you can do on the older ones without needing a remap, three sets of brake discs in my ownership, the genuine ones were the worst. has some oil leaks now not severe. Goes like a rocket.

2016 T6 150. 165 000 miles with a few niggles, alternator replaced at 155k broken rear springs at the same. Just about to do a leaking crankshaft oil seal and front shocks/springs. This forum has been invaluable in helping me sort a lot stuff out and given me reassurance when things haven’t been right with it

Just got round to having the crankshaft oil seal replaced, with cam belt, water pump and oil pump belt.
Just to let you all know the oil pump belt had broken down quite badly and left a lot of debris in the oil pickup. Looks like I only just got away with it, phew ‍

Mileage - 173500 miles.
