Hi!
According to miles/kilometers conversion calculator, my 95 brick shows 230000 miles (around 370000 km).
That is before instrument cluster repair last month(odometer gear repair).I own that car for about 6 month now.(got it with the cluster already broken) I drive around 600 miles monthly.That is 3600 miles to add.I have no idea of previous owners driving habits besides the lack of proper maintenance and negligence towards this fine piece of engineering or for how long it (cluster)had been broken.

We have an 95 850 with 89K miles, a non turbo 2000 V70 with 190k miles and a newly aquired V70R on the other end of the pole with around 247K miles.
The V70R is getting a new HG this week but only because the previous owner neglected the timing pulleys and bent valves. Must check the engine number to see if it's original.

The idler pulley was coarse and the tensioner pulley was very noisy. Who knows perhaps the timing belt snapped. I'll never know because I purchased the car from a 3rd party and the head was already removed and timing belt discarded.mecheng wrote:Which pulley seized?

212 864miles on my 850 T5-R.
Looks like 2nd gearbox.
currently It is leaking quite a bit of ATF. Otherwise no engine or transmission issues. Hope It is just the dipstick or something, it started leaking somtime after I changed the pnp switch.
