Re: how many miles on your xfire? major problems?
117000 miles on my 04 limited 6 speed.
Replaced Crankshaft position sensor at 50k (cheap DIY fix)
replaced entire ignition lock after complete freeze up at 55k (my bad for not getting it fixed while it was just sticking) ($1400 in shop)
Alternator went out at 65k (cheap DYI) (got one from a junk yard for $50 and its working to this day)
AC compressor locked up and broke my belt at 90k. still haven't gotten it fixed yet. gonna buy a kit off ebay for $200 and have my friend do it.
Other than that it runs like a charm. I've got the belt bypassing the compressor altogether (bought a custom shorter length belt to do this) but unfortunately its also bypassing the tensioner in order to do this. Belt is still tight after almost 30k miles of not being on a tensioner!!! (squeals a littler when cold but otherwise fine)
Hoping I don't have to do much else. I have that air pump emission error code thing...I really don't think theres a fix for that. People seem to have replaced EVERYTHING including the relay control module itself and the air pump and the tubes and blue valve and re-soldered and still had the light...I think it's a ECU thing that you can't ever get them to admit and pay for / replace. Mine is well past that warranty anyway.
PS: If I grandpa the hell out of it and put it in cruise at 60mph on a long trip I can get 33mpg!! 30 or 31 was the max before I had to ghetto rig the belt the way it is.
Anyone have higher mileage than this? I'm curious if I have anymore to worry about...
