We often have discussions of the mileages at which there are different types of engine failure, why we take warranties etc but what mileages have the cars done?
I am by no means a high mileage driver although that does change from time to time when I have been known to run a second vehicle.
My Gen1 Cayman S first registered 6th October 2006 will pass through 51,000miles later this week but who has the highest mileage Cayman Gen1 2.7, Cayman S Gen1, Cayman Gen2 2.9 or Cayman S Gen2? And what problems have they had?
In 51,000 miles I have had a Chrono Pack pack up at around 35,000 miles which wiped out all of the column switch operations, a track rod end wore beyond the limits for the 111 point check but on the same day passed it's MOT, a leaking sump plate gasket. Had the brake pads and discs changed, usual servicing only one oil change going as far as 20K, I had the headlamp washer freeze up which blew the fuse and also had a couple of bulbs blow. Also I had fuel blowing back when filling the tank, the problem was fixed under warranty as most others have been.
Not a bad record for the mileage and I hope this continues.
So, what are your total mileages?[
