how many miles can you get from an engine?
Hi
I have a 99 impreza turbo 2000
its done 75k with FSH, just wondered how many miles the engine is able to do if looked after, ie serviced tegularly, ill probably be changing the oil every 3000 miles
How many miles have folks on here done on the same engine?

70k and running fine..
Seen cars with WELL over 100k running fine, have to stay all are standard.. Basically when you start fannying around with the engine expect to reduce its life expectancy seriously!
Its just a car at the end of the day, but it happens to have a turbo and the pistons point out the side but as with any car just drive it respectfully and mantain it correctly and it will be fine.

126K Mild mildy tuned (if JGM's is midly tuned then mine is milder than that) going okay (touch wood - changing the popping and banging helped my knock count Simon, back below 20's again now)

Bottom end needed rebuilding at 110k. Oil feed to one of the heads had also gone meaning the heads were both replaced as well, so as near as dammit a new engine reusing the original block. TD04 gave up at nearly the same time.
