Friction parts replaced periodically, as should be expected. First clutch replaced at about 250,000 km.
Rebuilt engine at 282,000 km because of oil burning. Now at 400,000 km, it is burning oil excessively so we will soon retire the vehicle.
Power windows now operate only from the driver's door switches.
Oil drips have been a problem throughout the life of this car.
This has been a comfortable reliable car for 14 years. I'm sad to see it reach the end of its life and wish I could buy a new one just like it.
I bought my 626 in 1980. I've still got it. 440000Km and the second engine has been there since 1991. It burns some old but not to the extent that the police pull it over. I could not have asked a car to be as good to me as this one has been. Its a yellow Super Deluxe sedan 5 speed manual. In 1994, we drove it from Canberra to Perth (Australia) in 48 hours (4000km)
