250.000 miles

[johnro79]

Hi there

A few weeks ago I've crossed over 250.000miles Mark
I have the car from 62k 2years old and now it's 7.5 yo

Besides a dead alternator 2 years ago and a set of controls arms, nothing died on me.

This week I've topped up the coolant , 300ml.

I've been getting a few stop engine and check oil warnings lately.
Even when oil was changed 7-9k miles ago and now, 2-3k miles.
(Last oil change done by myself)
It mostly happens when I'm slowly crawling through traffic with either 16 or 28 degrees outside or when I'm doing a few short sprint runs (2-5 of them for 10-15 seconds each) and then stopping at traffic lights .


Is anyone experiencing the same issues by any chance?

Thanks for your time

Mine used to do this a lot as the DPF blocked up. Is it doing a lot of regents? Has fuel consumption gone down?

Sold the car to auction after throwing a lot of money at it and bought newer with less miles.

Had the DPF cleaned, new EGR valve, new pressure sensor and all new seals.

Fuel consumption went up but still did multiple regents so decided to get rid.

Start with a code read to see if there is anything obvious.

There's no codes, just the usual rooftop antenna gps thingy. That stopped working a few years ago

And fuel consumption, nothing unusual . Still 35-50 mpg depends where I'm working that day

You need to dig deeper now into measuring blocks.
