ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 20y 11d Posted 28/01/08 11:34 PM Share Posted 28/01/08 11:34 PM Just wondering what members think about the life expectancy of the Turbo motor.My XRT is only 4 years old but I intend to keep it for at least another 2 years. I only have 60,000klm's on the clock at present. Also I don't drive it hard.Do you think these engines, I guess more so the turbo will last 150,000 klm?????
