Until a few months ago, I've had no 'significant maintenance issues' with my Turbo. However, a few ones started to pop up last December. Please check this post and the follow-ups to see the details.

As I wrote it on this other forum, things seem to have been solved now. My babe just passed the 156'000 km mark, and she's all fine. I'll spend 4 days at the Nürburgring at the end of the month, so I guess that's gonna be a good test...

Almost exactly 13 months after having crossed the 100'000 km mark, my Turbo now passed the 160'000 km one!... Yes, that's 99'440 miles! I didn't have my camera on this occasion, so you'll have to trust me on this one.

And the babe's still doing strong. With the stock engine, it was able to beat a 360 Challenge Stradale on the main straight (rolling start) at the Nürburgring last week-end.

Top speed is still above 310 km/h (indicated), and seems to be as easily reached as it was one or two years ago. The clutch is still the original one, which can't be said of the brakes...
