I got 90k I still use 87 due to gas pricing in new York being so high if you live in suburbs and do all highway it would be worth the jump cause your not buying gas as much

'07 fit 155k (km)
running 16" since 10k (km)
tein s-tech springs since 30k (km)

in this order:
1) rear left bearing
2) rear right bearing
3) engine mount x1
4) driver windows control switches (left rear window wouldn't go down)
5) rear left bearing
6) engine mount x1
7) AC fan (the front-mounted fan beside rad fan)
8) rear right bearing

currently:
my brake discs are quite scratched but still works. mechanic advises AGAINST skimming them.
AC feels a bit weak (not cold).
ride is bumpy and hard as hell at the back but my dampeners have yet to leak.

i have zero engine problems with my '07 155k (km) fit.

99% of the time it would be the cheapest gas (91/92 RON) and 1% of which would be premium gas (97/98 RON).

I mix brands (the best brand is the one along the way), I mix petrol grades (when there's a sale) and I don't feel any difference in power or mileage or experience knocking/pinging.

08 Sport 176K miles.


Replaced both front wheel bearings but that was my fault due to experimentation with camber bolts.


A/C condenser due to taking out a small dog.


Coil packs at 150K.


Replaced front rotors and stock brake pads somewhere around 50k because they sucked so bad. Put on Brembo GT rotors and Porterfield R4-S pads and they're still going strong with 120K on them and stop so much better.


Rest has been just maintenance.

high mileage fit

I am a UK owner and our 05 1.2 GD has 112K miles. Got the car in 2008 with 65K on the clock. No major problems just some of the annoying water leaks(rear wheel well and rear passenger footwells).
Steve.

Thanks Ikuto I have utilised the fixes recommended here for the rear footwell problem, and also a good fix on the club Jazz(UK) forum for the water in the trunk. Pleased to say both have worked and our Jazz now stays dry.
Steve.

Misfires or hesitations in general? Fuel pump or filter? Any codes?

Misfires. I have an actron plus and spits codes with written descriptions. Misfires in 1 and 2 and a random. These are not consistent with moving the coils and change to other coils at random.

Sounds like you replaced all the electrical you could. Could it be a bad ECU or engine harness?

Where could I get the wiring harness for the coil packs and also the wiring harness for the fuel injectors? I've been looking...

I have a 2007 Fit (Sport) with 110,000 on it. At 54,000 I had to have clutch work done and now at 110,000 I'm noticing that the drive axles seem a little loose, not sure if they should have any play in them.

If you jack up a wheel, it should spin freely but NOT have any wobble.

I believe it could have to do with the tie rods. Here's a video on that. See if it's the same symptoms.

2008 sport @ 160K mi. Besides just recently replacing my tires for the 3rd time, I replaced the battery at 70K, new front brakes @ 100K, replaced Catalytic convertor at 150K, and finally new set Spark Plugs that took care of misfiring and lack of power were done the other day.
