changed mine at 210k mi, more 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be claude on  Tue Jan 15 10:41 CST 2002 [RELATED]

mine went at about 210k miles, but the reason it died was that the copper braided ground wire that goes to the armature from the solenoid rusted thru. I could have replaced this on the cheap and hoped for some more miles, but I scraped my knuckles enough taking the bugger out that I figured I'd buy a new one and replace it just once. Dealer price with VCOA discount wasn't too horrible, a bit over 200 bucks if I recall correctly.

Do you worry about when your roof may start leaking as well? :-) Cars are mechanical...when they break you fix 'em! No sense worrying about how long each component lasts till they bust, IMHO

'94 855M 233k miles- original clutch! and I don't give a darn how long they're supposed to last. When it slips, I'll replace it!!
