time for that timing belt

 

update-6/13/08 93,495

 

Why? I dont find it very funny anyway. Btw, it's broken. So thats where it will always stop.

 

^ Oh, ok. It's just in one of the magazines in Japan, people submit photos of it all 7s, or all 1s, etc. I'm just used to that.

~Cheers~

 

closing in on 89,000 on a 97 TL

 

'96 TL, just passed 110,000 miles -- and I expect to double that! It's a great car./

 

2000 TL3.2 162000km.

 

update: 385k km/240k miles and still going strong. Current timing belt is on 180k km, not going to replace it since this car needs alot of other work(rear suspension, rear brakes wear unven, abs, body work etc). Synthetic oil every 7k to 9k km. Surprisingly it drives almost the same since I bought it in 2003. I have only done 1 transmission drain on this car ever and it still shifts smooth(never even replaced the differntial fluid or the tran filter either). Driving this car till it breaks down. Hoping it goes another year or so.

 

currently at 211,xxx

 

88K and counting...1998 3.2!!!

 

243,xxx miles

 

96 3.2 257000 miles

 

1996 2.5 TL with 301,000 Kms (187,000 miles)

 

96 TL 2.5 178k miles.

 

98 3.2, 186k miles.

 

I'm going to hit 130,000 today

 

**Car was parked, (knock on wood) still no lights on the dash.

 

^ nice

 

It should start going up a good amount now. I'm moving and will live 20 miles from work instead of 5 miles. 40 miles/day instead of 10....should see 250K in no time!

 

almost 120000; based on this thread i am far from half life of my tl

 

1997 2.5TL ~115,000 miles

 

You guys are barely broken in!

We got my current TL in 1999 with 124K miles on it, it was a company car. Now 10 years later it's at 242, I just developed my first rust spot because it's on its second year being parked outside in its life.

 

opps not 385k km, more like 381698!

Take notice of my ebrake light/abs/check engine light LOL

 

Also the low idle.

Get some throttle body cleaner and clean the throttle plate and bore. To get to it you just remove the intake from the throttle. Just get a toothbrush, spray, and scrub. The car will struggle to start so give it some gas if it is about to stall. Then drive it for 20 minutes and then your car should idle normally again.

 

oh crap is it low? I had just got home and parked the car, went upstairs and turned the car on for a momment just to take the pic. I'm not very good when it comes to fixing cars, my dad does all the work on my TL. Stupid question, whats wrong with having a low idle? Thanks for tip btw.

 

800 rpm is low?! Doesn't it say in the manual that normal idle is 600-800 rpm?

 

I checked the manual (pdf) and it says that idle speed with accessories off (ac, defogger, etc) should be 480 +- 50 rpm. So 800 with ac, lights, and whatnot on is normal.

 

It looks low to me.

With the miles on the car it should be cleaned anyway.

 

What no kudos for my very young 98 3.2?

87,242 miles as of 08/16/09.

 

My 1998 3.2 TL just passed 295k miles. I have to keep it for another 2 years, so I expect to have around 400k miles before I retire it.

 

85 south of Ga here. 220,000 on my 96 TL 2.5

 

That is amazing that many miles on any car.

 

Those are kilometers.

 

Got a 96 2.5 with 217,400..... lol...

 

wow... I thought I had a young car... '96 w/ 116,000+

'Twas at a 80,000 when I picked her up two years ago

 

Heh mine had 132k Km which is aprox 82k miles when I picked her up just over two years ago. Now she's at 114 and starting to have retarded problems.

 

Just passed 300,000 miles on my 1998 3.2 TL last week. Still a very smooth ride.

 

Pics or lie!

 

Woah! I've got a 1998 3.2 that doesn't even have half that!

 

My '96 has 131,200 +
