As most postings concern problems of one sort or another I would like to report that my 06 Stilo 1.4 aircon active has just completed its first year of service without any faults or problems. Does this indicate that it's always best to buy the last batch of a model before it is replaced, on the grounds that all the faults have beeen sorted by then? Best car I ever had.

Normally that's what I tell people to do but in this case I'd have to say NO.

Mine is an 02 and is running perfectly :woot:

No errors and all systems fully functional (of which there are many).

Even the original battery is still going strong after about 5 years (but only just)

"Best car I ever had". Funny, I was thinking exactly the same little over an hour ago :spin:

Arginought do you still have you original radiator ?
 
I've had are the radiator, it started leaking just after the 3 year warranty expired :( and the under tray being removed when it went in for servicing and not replaced (n)
I intend to add a special inhibitor/lubricant soon although that's mainly because I want to protect the water pump.

You've just reminded me - my cars not perfect after all :eek: - I've got 2 clips missing from my undertray :(

Must try and locate those special fittings :idea:
 
what you have oy bear in mind is the bulk of people who look for the forum is becasue of a fault/query.
they dont sign up and say just signing up as my cars working ;)

I realize this but you can be interested in the Forum for many reasons. I have asked quite a few questions and got some useful tips from other members. I have also given opinions on other members' queries from time to time. So, even if my car never goes wrong I still think it is worthwhile to participate in the Forum.

Finally fitted the new drivers side engine side/under shroud... went fine until the rear bolt into the front sub frame snapped :bang: Drilled it out and refitted undertray properly... under me Stilo is now a duck tape free zone :D
 
My right headlight bulb died. Damn it's horrible to replace it, but managed it somehow.

Clutch is little sleepery in 5th (12000km I was driving it, now it has 115000+ total). Previous owner was not so gentle with clutch, obviously. Has to change it as soon as possible - just wanted to open new thread, regarding Valeo aftermarket parts. Will try ti replace it myself, with a little assistance of a friend of mine.

It's 2004. car, Actual, JTD. I hope no surprises in the future, after changing usual nondurable parts. It (Stilo) seems to be very decent car, I like it. Has also to fix that tape player related issue, although I have some old tapes. :D
