My Fiat Linea T-Jet: 9 years & 87000 kms of blissful ownership

Apart from ICE which doesn’t have the feature of playing music using Bluetooth, rest of the car still feels contemporary.

The beauty is 9 years old.

Odometer stands at 87390 kms.

My Linea completed its 9 years of ownership today. It’s an out and out fantastic experience with the car till date.

Considering the age and usage, have planned some part replacement:

• Replace spark plugs - I am not sure when the current ones were put. However, I am pretty sure that it hasn’t been changed in last 3 years and 40k kms.
• Replace tires - Tires are on their last legs after being used for 58000 kms. As checked last month, availability is still not normal for Michelin. Will check and go for either Continental or Pirelli.
• Battery - Usage has been minimal with only office commutes since TN trip. I am getting some random Airbag failure messages which means it’s time to replace battery. Current one is 3.5 years old.
• Sunvisor- The driver side sunvisor is broken since last 3-4 years. I plan to get it replaced soon.

Car is on stock clutch, brake discs and suspension. Apart from ICE which doesn’t have the feature of playing music using Bluetooth, rest of the car still feels contemporary.

I plan to enter the 100000 kms club this year with Linea. Running for 2021 and 2022 calendar year was 14000 and 18500 kms respectively.

Fingers crossed.
