clingy

They remove the engine and strip and replace the pistons and rings, when my 2007 model was done in May they also replaced the EGR and two brake callipers, all FOC.

I retired in Sept. and doing less miles, so traded in the diesel and brought a V6 auto very pleased with it.

Mine didn't go into limp mode, just lost power at low revs.

Goodness, that's proper customer service. Pretty much every other manufacturer would have washed their hands of the problem.

Sounds like they've revised the piston design to better control either diesel getting into the sump, or oil getting past the rings and being burned. They'll probably fit a new DPF too.

have same problem on car with similiar amount of miles and brought in to nearby dealer and told me it is a wear and tear issue and as such it was not covered under my warranty. They have quoted me a figure of €1000 to get this cleaned. Ridiculoulsy if the part needed to be replaced as opposed to cleaned they said it would be covered. Any advice here would be appreciated
