Just curious about your guy's mileage

[ENTENSE]

How many miles does everyone have on their P5? (any engine problems, if so what and at how many miles did the problem occur)

I have 27715 on my 02, haven't had any problems (knock on wood)

 

[Mike R]

91K miles the car. Motor had to be replaced at 30K due to rod knock. VICS screws came loose, always had the clutch chatter.

Other than that it's been OK. Motor wise at least.

 

[o.g.sk8er]

78,000+ here.


(rockon) No real problems, just clunks and sqeaks. Little stuff.

 

[xvdarkyvx]

21700 here on my 2003.5. no problems except the battery holder. It got loose and stuff. Oh yeah also a pole ran into my car.. =\

 

[Robot Romeo]

59,000. no problems. i can't wait to do my 60k maintence, i've had all the parts sitting in my room for weeks.

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

30,100 turned today!!!!

 

[MP5_509]

62000ish belt is kinda squeeky but nothing major.

 

[chuyler1]

54K and no problems. Haven't even worn out the factory brakes yet.

 

[falsedawn]

2002 P5 "manutronic"
23,000 miles (ish). Got it 18 months ago with only 8K on it.
EGR valve stuck around 18K. Dunlops dead after 20K (thank God)

No problems, just niggles - crap air con and heater, a few creaks and rattles, annoying whistling wind noise at anything above 50mph, mediocre all-round visibility.

Plusses far outweigh the negatives so far, though. The missus is always saying how much she loves it - I just don't get to drive it enough!

 

[Mxyzptlk]

manual transmission failed at 56K but learned on it so was expected I guess.

 

[Lord_Zath]

~18k. Other than a few random times the engine stalled, no problems (sport auto).

 

[Kansei]

almost 59k here, no real issues. I'm replacing the timing belt tomorrow if I have time to, but the car hasn't had any issues at all other than things caused by me.

Right now it'll stall if I bring it up to 4000+ RPM and disengage the clutch, but that was because I figured I should do the EGR valve clean even though my idle was smooth, and now it idles low (500rpms) and shakes. I guess while I'm doing the timing belt I can pull off the intake and redo the EGR cleaning.

 

[p5power]

52k and still goin mighty strong! had a random rattle a few months ago, but it was just a messed up sensor apparently. dealership replaced it and all was well. rust on the other hand...small amounts of bubbling across the car. rear upper wheel wells, rear hatch in the hole at bottom center, and the hood prop hole, too. nothing serious, though. i'm beginning to wonder if the alternator is ready to go, though. things are starting to really dim when i put down a window or turn up my heat.

 

[the tortoise]

I have a 2002 with 65,000 km. The car seems to be holding together well.

The third gear syncro is a little sluggish when cold, but that's about it.

 

[Prodigy]

52k in a 02...sedan.
no problemos.

 

[roverto4]

i gotta 2002.5 and its got 32,000, no problems since i got it with 26k

 

[djdanny5000]

damn 27k on an 02 is good i have 63600 and everything is fine

 

[Brian MP5T]

60,000 Km

 

[hellcat]

62,000 miles. I'm on my second engine, and working on getting the second trans. Had the primary cat go bad at about 35k miles. Oil filter mechanism failed causing the flow of oil to slow down, leading to crank bearing failure. Gas mileage isn't as good as it was. I need to do the egr clean too. Time for the new timing belt and all that fun stuff also. My third gear syncro started going out at about 20K. Mazda would not warranty it (I know you are shocked right?) Car is running smooth though. I still love it. Oh yeah, my struts are starting to creak when I go over speed bumps. That's all I can think of for now.

 

[aMaff]

45,000-ish miles, no real problems so far...
