He said it has 51K miles pre the trip, so it's a low mile car. Man, even my car has more miles. |
haha i know i know
whoever has that 130k beast must not drive it very hard. there are two others here in houston alone that had to have the motor rebuilt (1 by a dealer, out of pocket!!!!) because of rod knock...
just read up on the ins and outs of the s62... m5board is a wonderful resource for all things s62. and you can search there for my post on rod bearing replacement, i have a bunch of pictures i took of the whole process. my forum name is the same there...
judging by the high speed run, the OP must like to romp the throttle and hear the sweet sweet music that motor produces. just be aware of the long term maintenance you have ahead of you at around 100k.
enjoy the beast... i miss mine every time i start the GTI. but hey, such is life
