Hi just curious to see how many kilometers people have gotten out of there h6 before any major repairs or anything. Are these engines that last forever if treated right and serviced, 300000 or 400000 kms or would that be pushing.
Just thought this would be an interesting read and would like to know what the future of my car is!

72000 ks'

centre diff replaced at 60k (even though symptoms from as early as 40k)
on second power steering pump

Debating to get rid of it soon, or tune it and keep it for the long haul.

170 000km

Replaced head gaskets at 165 000
Replaced the gearshift bushes at 162 000
Replaced all brake rotors and pads at 150 000

I think this post was more about the engine that the car itself so -

Motor is otherwise going strong - not seeing any potential issues coming from the motor anytime in the near future.

It is more about the engine then the rest of the car, but still handy to know what costly things might be expected

312,000 kms to be precise!

Popped a head gasket at 165,000

SC kit on at 200,000

Still pulls like a train when AVCS cuts in.

Still my daily, but going to retire it shortly. Will part out and return to stock for disposal.
