Default How many miles...

So far, up to just over 257,000 miles on a '96 855 TDI. The last 30,000 or so have been done on waste vegetable oil with a two-tank conversion.

It has lost some power over the last year (not so much that it can't pull a big trailer, but noticeably less spritely) so will be starting a thread to help diagnose!

I have commented this before, but I haven't seen any Volvo's reaching high miles on veggie oil.

If it does 227,000 OK on diesel and starts losing power after 30,000 on veggie oil that tells you something I think.

I have done 7845 miles since rebuild( total miles is about 259000) car has a new life in it... now I can even overtake a car in 5th gear going uphill. Once the turbo spools up it takes about 3-4 seconds from 45-65 mph.. nice

2005 S60 D5 SE on 132k currently, I bought it on a 100k 3 years ago but now im doing 20k p/a so its going to go up again. If it doesnt get used daily it isnt as smooth so clearly it likes being used!
