I have 137000 on my SS which turns 5 in July. Had the timing chain replaced at 100000 and fuel pump shortly after that. I am also having struts replaced next week. Still enjoy the ride.

 

what was the reason for having the timing chain replaced?

 

The guides were broke.

 

'08 SS. Bought Feb/08. Stage 1(Mar./08), 29,877 miles. All original no repairs, original owner. Canadian EH!

 

Im pushing 79k on mine. Repairs... alot. But i push every inch of perf basically 24/7.
Time soon for waterpump/timing chain replacement in about 10k.
Just as refrence 30k miles in one year, new tires are needed as well as brakes.:p

 

Just hit 117,000... Averages 26 mpg. Still a blast

 

At my current pace, i will reach 100K miles in like 2050.

 

IS it recomended to change the Waterpump and timing chain at 90k?

 

I'm at 97,000. I bought it in July 2008. At 12,000 miles I installed the Stage 1 kit. Other than some initial problems with he stage 1 kit I have had absolutely no issues with this car. Still runs strong, interior looks new with very little wear. Still happy with it but it's time to buy my next car.

I'm planning on the 2014 Camaro 1lE. I'll be keep the HHR as my commuter car and will road race the Camaro.

 

So you should tune it now, would be funny if it's faster than the camaro,....just saying......
