I have 400,000 kilometres on my water boxer and very happy with it.
94,000 km on it when I bought it so I have personally put over 300,000km.
I had the engine rebuilt 3 years ago.
I go down to the desert once or twice a year and it's let me down
ONCE in 12 years and over 300,000 km's.
If that is unreliable bring it on!
I know little to nothing about the mechanical but have my mechanic do
whatever preventive measures that I have gleaned from this helpful list.
I have taken care of it and it has taken good care of me.
It has been a very reliable vehicle for me and thanks to the many here
whose knowledge has helped make it so.
Even though I don't turn a wrench I take a keen interest in the vehicle
and make sure it receives the proper love care and attention.
These vehicles know when their loved!
