140,000 mile update
Hey gang! I just turned 140,000 miles on my 2014 E250.
Here's a quick update:
AVG MPG 38
BEST MPG 44.1
Today, I replaced the engine air filter, oil and oil filter, cabin filter and the a/c fan blower (it was making that chirping noise others have had.) Easy DIY (if you have youtube access!)
Since my last report, still no major repairs other than usual wear and tear. New tires. Still on original brake pads. I did have to replace a damaged air cooler pipe/hose, that put my engine into limp mode. Other than that, it's been trouble free.
See you at 150K!

The limo service, who had my 2014 E250 before was putting 60k a year, so even I did not add much last year, the car is at 183k miles now.
Records show the DPF was replaced at 140k and I am having the pressure codes coming now, so I wonder if that is short-lived part, or bad luck.
Enjoy the mpg. Mine in footnote. Was making over 60 mpg driving 60 mph, but did not have much patience to keep it that low. The car shines cruising at 100.

Wow, great to hear the E250 has some reliability! I've been enjoying mine and the 60mi round trip commutes. It's been to the dealer twice for some small odds and ends that only I would notice, otherwise great so far. I'm surprised to see that you all are getting such high MPG numbers! I think I'm averaging around 33mpg now, and >40mg on the highway at 70-80mph depending on wind.

I also have an E 250 diesel. I was out of town for a week and now the aux battery shows a problem. Have you replaced your aux battery in the trunk yet?
