how many kms is the 100series td good for

At least 500,000 until the engine needs a rebuild.

i would have said more than 500,000 providing it has had all its required servicing at the correct intervals.mine has only just turned over 50,000 so i hope it does at least that!cheers Paul

It will last precisely:

(36.933563098Km) + ((the length of your arm x 1287.012) - (4 x the girth of your guts))

less than the distance to the nearest help when it finally dies.

....or so I'm told.

Seriously, how long is a piece of string? It's that kind of question.

Cheers,

The rest of the vehicle wears out before the motor.

Overheating often spells the beginning of the end for many motors.

My mechanic mate that services mine says minimum 400,000 k's.

He owns one too and expects that from his. So 500,000 like the crew above say is a definite possibility.

Mine is an 03 5 speed auto done 170k klms and gets smoother and better fuel consumption as the miles build up. I have had it for sale for a while as the ks were mounting up but what would I replace it with? When you drive one of these you can't help but love them in spite of the cost. As a tour guide I drive n\a 1hz Arkana type vehicles all the time that have well over 700k klms on them and are thrashed up the Alexandra range in first gear every day as they weigh 5.5tonne. We have 2 factoryturbo diesel Arkana type vehicles now, on the same trip., they use 40% less fuel and can be driven a gear higher than the n\a 1hz. With regular servicing and maitenance an average 2.5 ton cruiser wagon which would never be driven as hard a these tour vehicles should have no trouble doing a 100,000klm. Any high mileage fte turbo motors out there? Any problems? Cheers Rob

A Regular serviced one will do 500,000ks.

But could cost you to get there!!.

Pump service?

injector replacement or service?

Timing belt replacement?

Injector lines later models?

rear oil seal replacement.?

Clutch & associated parts?

Then there's gearbox issues maybe?

Supension bushes?

waterpump

radiator.

It goes on and on, unless you do big kms & its running warm all the time,( Eg .taxi) Not being negative, just realistic.

Cheers Axle.

I read where one bloke got over a million k still going. Motors that never get to cool down will go a long time like the taxis used to. That, servicing, and the way you drive should all have an effect. Leaving the vehicle for long periods will allow the oil to dry from the bearing surfaces and take a lot of revolutions before the oil pumps up and fills the channels.

Motors are built by robots these days so they should all start out the same. In the old days bored production line workers had something to do with it. I bought a new Torana once and had to have a main bearing replaced in the first week.

None
should be destroye at birth :)

mine has 125,000 on the clock (Jan04) and the only replacements have been an oil pressure sensor @108000 (replaced free even though out of warranty and not the first owner) and a RH outer CV, self destructed-not covered as previous owner had wound the torsion bars up 65mm. The wear was obvious with the hardfacing breaking down. Beware of this prob, $1200 to replace.
Have done an oil sample at 6000km on oil to see how the engine was internally, it came back with Soot Index <0.1%, Fuel Dilution <3% (minimum measurable) and all else well within normal range. I wanted to see how necessary an oil change at 5000ks was, this indicates that it could easily go 10,000. But I still change it. Am happy to forward it to anyones private email if they want to view it?
