On my 98 Millenia 2.5L I have a few problems. It has 181k miles and so far I have ball join problems (upper arm and control arm) on both front wheels and I also need to replace struts for both front wheels also. I also have a oil leak on top of my engine block, I always have to add some oil every 3-4k miles, i don't know how to fix it. I'm thinking all I have to do is re seal the engine block with some paste? and last. Every time I turn on my car I hear a clicking or knocking noise, it goes away after the car warms a bit or wen I drive of.

I have a white 2000 Millenia 2.5l. I bought it in July with 131,000 miles, and now its got 137,000 miles.
Since I bought it, I've replaced the timing belt, changed the oil (twice) with Mobil One synthetic, had the transmission fluid replaced, bought three used tires for $25 a piece, bought a spare, replaced a broken tail light with one I found on eBay, replaced the fuel filter, new front brake pads and replaced the bulbs in the headlamps. My check engine light is on, and I suspect it might be because my air intake hose is held together with duct tape. I need to get the codes read, and I'm probably going to buy the CAI. My car is never going to look great. I've got dents in every single body panel. Nothing major, but its dinged up all over. I'm mainly looking to keep it running smoothly for another 15-20,000 miles.

:P When I got mine this is exactly what I was lookin for! Since purchase, I've (or some one else has graciously helped) added to all the "personalization" on each body panel. Not one has been spared. Got it with 80k or so miles and now on 115k... Rebuilt Trans The one motor mount I could get to One front axle Thermostat (thanks Xedo) One rim and some arm that used to hold the rime inline with the road There is a long list of things that "need" to be fixed/replaced. Which is why I've dropped by here... Baby steps Bob, baby steps. Squeeze two more years out of it and it'll all be worth it. Then on to the next victim… ahhh I mean _vehicle_. What's a CAI?

Just broke 204k miles on my 1995 S.
Front axles were replaced right before I bought it (at around 180k miles). I've replaced a wheel bearing, brakes, vacuum lines, thermostat and a starter. It's on it's last legs now...stutters on startup due to the amount of oil making it's way into the intake from the supercharger combined with a bad oxygen sensor and a bad coil/plug. The radiator is held together with stop leak. The sunroof is broken (bracket snapped in half), a third of the clearcoat has peeled off, and it needs new tires. The starter gear doesn't always slide forward and engage, so trying to start often leads to a loud whining sound. The transmission was even dropping out of overdrive on the highway when cold until I dropped some Seafoam into it. Despite all the issues I've had it's treated me pretty well. Despite losing nearly all of my coolant driving to a friend's wedding (failed thermostat led to boiling coolant and a ruptured heater line) I still managed to make it the 15 miles (in 100 degree weather!) to the next town by coasting in neutral with the engine off down hills and turning the engine back on to drive up the next. I haven't had to tow it yet, and hasn't left me stranded besides this one incident last summer. It's nearly time for it to be replaced, but it's served me well.

Model: 97' no sub class, 2.5L (not miller)
Mileage: 155,150 Problems: Bad EGR valve (not fixed yet...$600 for a valve is crazy talk), replaced radiator (OEM one was part plastic, new one is all metal), replaced thermostat, replaced serpentine belts (both). CD LCD display crystal leak (love those programmable buttons). Driver side wiring for turn signal is bad (it's not the bulb or relay). The moon roof leaks. Power steering wheel tilt dead. The cup holder in the middle is broke off from previous owner. I've duct taped over the leather seats where they were previously torn. Heats great but not when in idle. The pinstripe detail is mostly worn off, some cracks in the undercoat if you look close but looks like a black Mercedes/Lexus (from what others told me) from any other point of view. Lunges when it up/down shifts, thinking either spark plugs or dirty transmission pan or transmission overhaul, or coul just be the timing belt. Bought car two years ago for $9,500, value at auction is $1,000. Happy with the impression it makes, just if the mechanical was as good.

Always loved the millenia...found what I thought was a great deal 2 weeks ago, now I am hoping I did not buy a lemon.
2001 supercharged Millenia 100K miles Black on grey Problems (already!): Spits out a lot of black smoke on startup - told it needs an engine rebuild but not sure I trust that this is the problem...anyone know if that is normal? I think it is the supercharger from what I am reading here...I am about to get compression test done to be sure... Needs wheel bearing, oil cooler leaks, and transmission gasket leak. Body and interior are in absolutely mint condition...but don't have link to pic...sorry! Purchased for (all figures CAD): $3500 Cost to rebuild $3500 Wheel bearing, oil cooler, and trans. gasket: 800 all in ANY advice you guys have, I would really appreciate...thanks so much in advance.

Forgot to add in a couple things... - bought a 92 929 at 270K KMs, took it to 330K KMs, no problem except an EGR code that wouldn't go away even after OEM replacement. Loved that car too, but truck got me in accident and had to let her go...  Also...got some 5X2 spoke 17" rims on the Milly.
