Reached a Milestone Today

Post by Whelan »

Hit 130,000 miles. Nothing to report cause the car still runs mint and has encountered no big problems, fixes, etc. aside from normal the normal oil changes, brakes, tires, one serpentine belt change, one tranny flush/fill, topped coolant once.

You never changed coolant?

I'd flush that coolant. It becomes corrosive with time. With aluminum head and all...

It's been drained/filled is what I meant by topped off. In the next few months this car will most likely be sold and then replaced with the GLI 6MT

It's not working but since I have not gotten it fixed I can't count it as a repair item. So I guess it's the only thing wrong with the car mechanically. I'm not willing to dump a few hundred to fix it cause I plan on selling it in a few months for a GLI.
