Hi,
My 413j has done 91 thousand miles always change the filter /oil about every 3 thousand miles
no smoke uses little oil ....what mileage do these engines generally last to before trouble looms ?

My 1.3 engine was on about 120000 when I swapped it for the 1.6 and it was still running sweet before I took it out.

Okay thanks for the info, thats a really nice looking 413 anus.....
I guess its the treatment the engine gets in its life....i never let it slog in a gear..not too happy about the wife driving it though since her Escort mk2 is off the road..

Mines on 115k now.

Been a geeat little engine. Service regularly. Drive daily
Ragged occasionally to clear its throat.

A good blast evey so often getting the revs up helps alot on older cars.

Thanks,
On the odd occasion i have seen 80 mph on the clock in 5th gear..but it felt very unstable
65 mph its comfortable though.....
