Hello.

Just wondering what sort of miles can be expected out of a JTD? Mareas, Multiplas Bravos and Doblos have the same engines.

My JTD105 Marea is showing 138,000 and still uses no oil.

It's never been more than 8k without an oil and filter change and always with semi-synthetic 10w40 .

I'm replacing the head on my mates JTD105 because the cambelt snapped. Bloody shame. Looking inside I can't believe this 145,000 mile head's condition. Amazingly clean, and the shims and cam lobes look incredibly un-worn.

Please report your high mileages, anything under 100k not worth mentioning...

I bet these engines can go over 300k....

Do a search on Niall G. His missus' van wins.

:yeahthat:

And then look at the Bravo site and the Autobild reliability survey of the 2.00 Diesel. The Bravo came sixth overall, and beat VW and others into a cocked hat. No wear at 100,000 miles.

Mrs_G's Doblo has something like 370,000 miles on the original engine. Oil changes every 12,000 miles.

The only significant work on the engine was when a glow plug stripped the thread in the head when being changed - the head had to come off for a repair - the garage said the condition of the pistons/bores looked like an engine that had only done a fraction of its true mileage.

The van still pulls like a train and sailed through its MOT a few days ago.

Fantastic. How can you get rid of it; it's family

Dis you ever WD40 the brake pipes underneath; mine are looking a bit sad?

I saw a mechanic on a site with 04 doblo jtd with over 500k miles.
