Re: Highest reading on the odometer!

Was shocked to see this figure!! Either a VW Polo or a Vento TDi

I can confirm this is a Polo 1.2 TDI looking at the instrument cluster. The Vento had a cluster with a white outline on both the dials that was also illuminated:

As opposed to the one on the earlier Polos:

Re: Highest reading on the odometer!

Not exactly the Highest Odometer reading but a spectacular and heartbreaking story of a Chinese father who rode 500,000 km over 24 years across the length and breadth of China on his bikes searching for his kidnapped child. He used 10 bikes for his 24 year mission.

The happy part is He succeeded in the end! Not just that, he reunited nearly a 100 lost kids with their families during his search. His determination and patience is unbelievable

Re: Highest reading on the odometer!

A 2nd gen WagonR which runs as a Taxi, owner is very finicky about it's mechanical maintenance. Runs on Shell Synthetic oil, change interval being 10k. No issue of oil consumption or sludge. Just the interior felt a bit worn out and dusty.

Re: Highest reading on the odometer!

Finished 1 lac kms on my Honda Brio V(M.T) late 2013 model yesterday.
While everyone in our WhatsApp group has sold off and moved onto bigger butch C.SUV's, i have held and persisted to claim this milestone.

No rattles, no squeaks, stock clutch/ brake rotors, no headlight mods and used a highway runner.

Only Front suspension was changed once due to unmarked Speed breaker that loomed out of nowhere.
My service bills have not been exceeded 3,300/- Rs despite servicing at A.S.S regularly every10k kms.

Have tons of upgrades planned including a remap, borla exhaust , copper sintered brakes and probably coil-overs.

Of course, it is another matter that the highest ever mileage of 2.2lac kms on a Honda Brio, belongs to a friend of mine from Dharawada

Keeping it stock will make it last longer troublefree rather than modifiying the car unless you plan to sell it off in 2-3 years time.

If I read that correctly, 3 Lakh KMs on stock clutch and suspension? Did you drive all of the 3L KMs on Autobahn?

You must write a post with detailed habits of driving and taking care of your Verna.

Most Volvo buses that come to my workshop for HVAC work run between 20 and 30 Lakh km until the engine needs overhaul. Ac Compressor lasts a little under 15 lakh km. Clutch will last anywhere between 2 Lakh and 5 Lakh km depending on the route the bus runs on.
Service interval is 1 Lakh km, and costs about Rs 1.3 Lakhs, as many things like tie rod ends etc are replaced during service.
The air cleaner has to be cleaned every 20,000 km, and water traps drained every day and it is DIY for the driver / attendant.

As per the description by Noushad(the uploader), this bus just did a Coimbatore-Bihar trip. Its common to see interstate buses with 10-15 lakh km on the odometer but 2.5 million km is quite a feat!
Could very well be still original.

That is a myth. Diesel's need far lower maintenance as the cam shaft is gear driven, and they do not have ignition devices like coil and spark plugs.

As long as water doesn't enter fuel pump, air cleaner is cleaned in time, and oil is changed at its 1 Lak km service, a bus engine can keep running till eternity.

Yes. You read that right.

80% of the driving has been on highways. The daily work drive is also on NICE road.

Nothing special regarding the maintainence. Periodic service and synthetic oil changes every 15k kms. Wash every weekend. No other detailing works.

ODO is now at 3.13L kms

Is this safe to push the oil change till 15K kms ? I've heard mechanics advise 10K / 1 year oil change intervals.
