Mines a 2004 that now has 330 000 on clock. Prety much only this mechanically and driveline specific that's still stock is the actual engine There have been a few things changed on engine such as: Coils Vct sensors Timming chain and guides All gaskets besides head and sump Vatious sensors But was wondering on stock boost levels how many ks people got from them It still has plenty of go and does not make noise...it did have a lifter tap at startup but has since gone after engine flush and slightly thicker oil.

The block and rotating assembly can last a huge amount of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long though? well, I've seen 600K taxi's that kick on ok. That said, they get plenty of love. A poorly maintained barra? Not sure. All this said, I've seen 250k on an NA block, STOCK FILTER & oil. Still ran fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearings, gaskets, timing gear worth checking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the WA members that no longer is on her, Phillmeup had 3 taxi's. they were constantly on the road. only time they stopped was to go in for a service. They got serviced every 10,000km religiously. Apparently he had one of the taxi's clock up 1.5 million km. I heard of another taxi doing 3.2million km. They are a work horse and need to be looked after. I know that they are not the turbo's but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I met him he was getting rid of a motor that had spat a set of bearings at 450k. Being the inquisitive guy he is he pulled it down and I think posted a comment on it somewhere. But yes, fastidiously kept everything looking good. Phil was the boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or had on sold one. 2 hours ago, OZYWALKER said: What happened to phil? Had a decent go that bloke. I know he was on the cusp with Uber and dealing with industry regulation change which was causing him some frustration. To his credit he did everything by the book legally & mechanically.

He stopped frequenting the antilag and ford forums as he got slaughtered for having a go at the bloke that crashed into his taxi. He was under a lot of stress at the time due to finances and the industry regulation changes. He said he won't be coming back after all the sh*t he got for that incident. I see why a lot of people gave him sh*t and he shouldn't have done it, but the whole incident put him more into debt. I believe he is still with swan taxi's though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
