    Did you have to replace anything else or did anything else go on it?

    How often do you get it serviced.

    Serviced every 15k km.

    What I have had replaced would not be representative of ordinary car use,because taxi-ing is hard on every component.
    But...clutch alternator starter motor and a recon gearbox.

    Thanks for your help.

    How much did these parts cost. Are they expensive.

    How much would a 15k service cost normally. Feel free to pm me.

    I bought a Fluence new in Feb 2011, just passed 200K km on Saturday. Got a brilliant scrappage deal at the time, think I paid €15.5K. Have found it a great car, still running perfect now. Only problem I have had, outside normal wear and tear, was the motor for the front passenger side window went wallop about a year ago, cost €200 to replace. I put that down to the children continually slamming that door over the course of 9 years!

    Only other issue for me is that the engine is a bit loud by modern standards. When I drive newer cars, I notice how much quieter they are inside than the Fluence.

    I used to do a lot of motorway driving (Cork-Dublin) and the car is incredibly frugal for these journeys. It is a bit more thirsty around the city but still decent.

    We've nearly 300,000km on ours, only thing we had to replace was the heater blower, has all the original suspension parts, had to pick up a mirror / window switch for a few euro on ebay, other than that just regular service once a year.

    Why did you move it from the old thread. Its the same topic. It would be handy to keep all the information together.

    The old thread was from 2012 or so.
    Don't worry, there is room for another thread for your questions.
