Yeah, I wouldn’t be getting that, so probably your oil control rings are worn out on the pistons, it’s possible a set of rings and a hone might fix it but nobody could tell without stripping and measuring and looking to see what needs doing, you’d also want the head overhauled too, like they say a new engines the best answer unless you can strip and repair your current one yourself to avoid labour charges.
Dual mass flywheel I think has failed. Can’t say anything else because I’m not there to check out any further, go to a decent shop and get them to listen. Gearbox out to repair, shouldn’t be too bad cost wise (not in the UK anyway, USA seems to be rip off prices).
Generally the old engine goes back to the engine remanufacturer it’s part of the deal and they charge a surcharge until they get it back.
Just get it done, generally cracks appear in the cast iron part of the turbo around the turbine, nobody could say with certainty if this would last a while or cause a catastrophic fail in the near future, it won’t be a cheap job.
Seems a lot, is the part really expensive? a repair like this would typically take an hour to hour and a half.
None if you maintain safe oil level.
False and false and don’t understand what the fuck you mean, and never drain, pump the old out whilst filling with fresh, draining could give air lock nightmares and take a million years to get a good pedal back, plus only an ocd would torque a nipple, I never do.
The fuel type thing certainly in my country would be utter bullshit, we have 2 fuels, 5% and 10% ethanol. there’s something wrong with your emissions, we have no more information from you to say anything else really.
Don’t forget the free lesson at the dealer about driving one foot from peoples bumpers and not using indicators.
I work in a repair shop and we will do head gaskets, a lot of others won’t though because liability, in some rare cases the repair fails, we have had a few fail, and it turns out the issue is a hidden crack or something, of course then the customer is angry and it all goes sour because we don’t have xray vision and sending out for crack and pressure testing is expensive.
This is why they don’t want to get involved, selling an engine with a warranty protects them.
