    what mileage?

    hi all,
    kinda new to all this, ive just defected from a 2.0l 16v corsa to an ex fuzz s70 t5 '99, i havent done much except mot pass work and a k&n panel filter, just wondered what kind of mileage similar motors on here are running?

    mines just passed 179,000 and feels quicker than the corsa between 40-120 mph

    cheers james.

    Feels quicker? Mine is pushing 1/4 million miles and is several decades faster than a Corsa!

    179K is old for a T5 but not too old. You get a fair few miles out of it yet.

    Welcome to the mad house!
    Corsa 2.0 16v are good for a 13 second 1/4 - i haven't seen that many volvo's in that bracket.

    Welcome to the forum BTW

    P.S I like the corsa.
