With the posts on engine failures I would like to see how many we have had here on this message board.
Please vote along with stating information like milage, performance upgrades or if it was stock.
So for example mine would be:
37,000 miles
No problems
Only modification is synthetic oil.

I put 98,600 miles on the 2003 W-22, and the new owner has added at least another 10,000. There are now over 16,000 miles on the 2010 W-24 we bought last May. Ed

THAT is a pretty big "contradication in terms" , IMO, unless you removed the banks equipment since you bought the coach  Ed

42,000 miles and no problems. Still runs great. I've kept on top of coolent changes and switched to Mobil 1. Change oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
