We made it!

Somewhere near Ourense in Galicia our 2006 Cali past the 300.000km. So proud she made it.

Got a crappy photo.

One for the family album. Any serious hiccups during ownership?

Congratulations!

I'm still not there, but I am coming.


I was planning to take a picture at 200000km, but with cruise control on, the total mileage is gone. Only when putting off CC or if the door is opened, I can see the mileage.
Mine is from 2010, so I will not get there in 4 years. Let's say 6-7 years?

Wow! that is awesome! here's wishing you more happy miles. As they say - T5 - then possibly just run in!

Enjoy!

We are the second owners, first owner did most of the km. Just the usual stuff got replaced and fixed. New roof ballows, hydrolic rams, some work got done on the motor. Camshaft got replaced. The logbook we got from first owners whas long enough. We just picked up where they left. Loving the Cali and the freedom of adventure she gives us. We have been touring North of Spain the last 3 weeks.

Apart from some minor stuff (mirrors, sliding door locks), and some warranty work, I only have had 2 engine "problems" over those 15 years. First the EGR cooler, a bit later a temperature sensor in the DPF. Somewhat later of course the right drive shaft loosing it's teeth. And a bit of hydraulic issues too. But that would be it, for real problems.

It seems that the building quality used to be a bit better on the T5 and T6 series than the T6.1, certainly for software. I only had 1 recall for engine software update, and the recall for roof corrosion.
