Greetings All

Not done this for a while, I turned over 170k miles yesterday which includes 77k in my 15 year ownership.

What are you lot showing on the odometer?



And yes, needs a clean inside!

When mine turned over 100k, I thought that's buggered the value. It's done 103k now, 24k of them by me since 2008.
 
205955! and the engine has never been taken apart... until now! (I don't even think the head had ever been removed).



Do I win a prize? surely got to be the highest mileage turbo on the forum? a credit to how strong they are to get to that mileage with no surgery.

Think it was on about 115k when I purchased back in 2007 (will check later and update).
 
Yes, you are the current winner! If your original HG has lasted until now, you have done very well! I'm sure I read the OEM Victor Reinz HG has a 10 year service interval. It must have been like a sieve when you took it apart............I think my original HG lasted 115k miles (about 22 years) and resembled a cheese grater upon removal. Got about 10 years and 50k miles from a replacement OEM gasket which failed preceding my engine build. Boost may have been involved in it's demise................

Believe it or not it looks fine! crazy really as my aftermarket boost gauge was indicating max boost of 16 psi with my boost enhancer intermittently (believe it more commonly hit 12-13).

 
Seems I didn't answer fully when answering this question...I'm still at 223k total, my personal milage is 134k...
 
I wonder how many 944 turbo owners don't have the use of another car. If I could only drive one car, it wouldn't be a 944 turbo. Crawling along in stop start traffic in an laggy 80's turbo is hard work, and avoiding high boost on wide summer tyres and wet roads isn't much fun either. Plus I hate seeing the car covered in road grime.
 
That will be me these days. 172k miles on the car, 79k of which I have driven. Have been able to live with the car as a daily for 15 years. Still find it quite comfortable and wind the right foot in when its wet and greasy. Not much start stop traffic up here to be honest and I work from home so don't commute. Golf club, bowling club, shops and lots of quiet, twisty Scottish roads. All good for me!
 
Probably doesn't help that there's never been a working radio in my car, and I've never bothered to sort out the A/C. Plus it's probably still running the original clutch. A few years back I went down to North London to pick up a spare bonnet, and got caught in rush hour traffic on the way back. That told me using a 944 every day wasn't for me.
 
Horses for courses. I have a radio and CD changer (old school) and working AC and a new cup clutch.
 
Got a noisy exhaust, I'd rather listen to that. A/C overhauled in the past, so could be recommissioned easily. Clutch works fine, so no point in changing it. Mileage on my car now, isn't far off what yours was when you bought it.
