My odometer coming to 800,000km !

[LesleyAprotto]

What are the things I should check?

Do I need to do any overhaul?

All sifus pls advise....

BTW mine is petrol driven car not diesel...:proud:

 

[ixeo]

What you want? An award? Just drive it like normal and replace if things go wrong lah. When was last time change timing belt, v-belt, engine oil and gear oil? Gee... after driving 800k km people would expect you to have a bit of clue....

Am worried about the chasis, structure and wheels are still intact, how to check those, where to see any untoward sign of worn out etc ?

[ehdrian]

Yaya, i'm curious to know what car is dat too.

 

[LesleyAprotto]

Its a star quality 2597cc V-6 engine W211 model,

BTW im getting 55-60km on every RM10, is the FC ok?

 

[ehdrian]

Wow, fc also very good!..

 

[LesleyAprotto]

Wow, fc also very good!..

Most of the time on auto cruise 113km/hr on hiways...

Ive have tested this speed and found out to be the most optimum speed for good FC

I believe its the same on most other cars, the secret is 113km/hr dont believe me, try yourself!

 

[ehdrian]

yeah i also know dat speed is optimum for saving fuel but i really can doze off if i were to drive at that speed on highways.

 

[vr2turbo]

Not my car its a company car....

Wah you think changing car like changing the shirt ka?

Economy not good la...

Probably i may exceed 1,000,000km in the present car....

Got to take pro-active measures, maintain it well...

Only worry that the wheels may come out....

Sometimes you see cars with wheels flipped, what are the causes?

Is it because of tie-road or wheel bearing gave way? :questionmark:

 

[DanzEterna]

Mercedes Benz E240 2.6 V6 W211 AVANTGARDE MODEL - Cars for sale Selangor - Mudah.my

if you have covered 800k kms in your car, congrats to you. not many would have such a chance to have taken their cars to such limits. talk maybe they can.

if you plan to drive it longer, just maintain it as normal, dont worry the wheels wont come off. just send it back to a good mechanic, in fact why not send straight to the merz approved dealer or service centre???? just a suggestion? have them go through your car. i dont think there are many that have covered that sort of mileage in a W211??

get them do a compression test and a major service like replacing all the basic wear and tear??? new hoses, mounts, leaky power steering rack, new radiator, new electric fan bla bla bla??? it will cost some money for sure, but hey, u have driven 800k kms. thats a mileage a normal person drives in say...32 years????

 

[DanzEterna]

but isnt w211 a fairly new car & can clocked 800k kms in a few years?
u travel outstation daily?

 

[abunawas]

think it came out in 2003 till 2009. assuming it is a 2003 car, 9 years old, each year approx 100K kms? about 8500 kms a month. very doable.

i am more interested in the gearbox. original gearbox never changed ???
