Unreliable 1.8s

Probably had 6 head gaskets to get to that mileage.

V6 - horrendous engine. So overrated. So slow.

115000 on my 1.8. Modified head gasket and water pump, belts etc at 90k. You should listen to that engine, purring , and pulling as strong as you would expect from a fit 1.8. Won't win any races, but, boy, is it a great drive...as you would expect of a 75.

Sounds about right. Loved my 1.8 and 1.4 K series.
