Hi all
I'm new to abarth ownership and was wondering what kind of mileage you can expect from an abarth engine, bearing in mind they are ranted on the odd occasion , can I expect 100000 miles out of my car?
Has anyone heard of massive miles on an engine?

The oldest cars - Grande Puntos - are now nearer 4 than 3 years old, and the earliest 500s will be about to celebrate their third birthday. Some of them belong to Abarthisti, but form what I recall of various posts on here, no-one has yet exceeded 50,000 miles (some are getting very close), so there is no actual real life data to answer your question, but as Corsa says, provided you look after the engine (keep oil in it, for instance), I doubt there should be a major problem. It tends to be ancilliaries that cause more of the grief in just about any car these days.

According to Wessex garage my 500 doesn't require a service for two years or 18000 miles, it seems far too long for a performance engine.

Have a look here for servicing intervals

Thank you I'm glad I started this post because I would have taken Wessex garage word as gospel.

I thinik Any engine can do 100k and more on it based on how well its looked after.Look after your car and the car will look after you.

Not the engine I am worried about, the engine is fine.  Clocked up half the 100k you are expecting.  I am more worried about cheap plastic parts and the stones that get thrown at my windscreen every week.
