What mileage has your zetec done?(or maybe a friends)

BM08

just the response i was after, cheers mate

Although the focus and Escort zetecs differ slightly dont they? although they are essentially the same internals arent they?

Less.

160,000 miles in a l reg mondeo

Had an old RS1800 a few years ago, bought it with 105K on the clock sold it with 174K and was still pulling strong and no problems.

My dads mondeo had 140k when he sold it to my best mate 3 yrs ago now its done 218k and still going

Fiddy

mines done a 100k, but my mate drives for a local taxi firm, they have a couple of mk2 mondeo's, one has done 320k and the other has just gone over 400k, they have both had plenty of maintenance over the years, but are still on the original engines.

all on the original engine? none re-built????


my missus 16v si has only 50k on it now

Fiddy

thats what i said, have they had a rebuild, he asked his boss, and according to him, he has had both since nearly new, they have had plenty of maintenace and new parts, but he says no rebuild.

Bloody hell it seems like ive got absolutely nowt to worry about on 84k, got years of life let in it yet(if i keep it that long) had the GTi 2 years now

xr2i-carl

obviously a neglected engine wont last that long but as long as you dont thrash it from cold and change oil and filter and plugs regulary then i cant see it being a problem doin over 150k

James

we have one in work, old mk1 mondeo 1.6 with 310k. no rebuild, original clutch, orignal head gasket.

xr2i-carl

cant believe that, how can it be original clutch??

Zetec Andy

hahaha my uncles puma had done 418k when he bought for just 1200 quid sold it 4 month ago for 1500quid with 718k and no prolems apart from the alternator that got changed at around 512k

no blue smoke etc !needed oil changes every 5k tho hehe
he did high mileage coz he used to be a courier for uk+france

smoothest was the 2,tr si mondeo with well over 100k and was faultless

biglee

I HAD A REGULAR SERVICED 2.0 ZETEC MONDY DONE OVER 200K AND ITS STILL RUNNING VERY VERY WELL, ALL ITS HAD IS A CLUCTH AND ROCKER GASKET.

James

xr2i-carl

Mr Sam

our focus 1.8 zetec has done 122k never missed a beat its driven 7 days a week & is still going very strong.

phil_focus

i drive my mum's 1.8 focus lx. its a 2000 an done almost 100k. i've thrashed it a fair bit but we've been changin oil every 5k an she runs just as good if not better than the day she left the factory!!!

faily high milage as a family car. for my first ear of drivin i was the main driver an did the majority of 12,500 in 7 months. did over 300 the day i passed

the newer black tops are built stronger than the older zetecs. last ages. if well maintained will easily do 220k+

boXXer

how the hell can you do 300k on a std clutch? NO WAY!!!

and 718k on a puma, and as a courier car? what did he transport? crisps!theres no room in them! hmmmmmm!


No word of a lie though. When i went to Cyprus, almost ALL of the taxis had done nearly 1.5 million miles!!! they literally do not turn the cars off he was telling me. They've obviously had a few box's and engines, but the shells were mint as its so dry over there. They were mostly the old shape mercedes, like the 190e's.

Benni

My ford focus 1.6 has done 25k Miles in one year, And not one of them miles were driven easy.
