Engine and clutch gone after 19k

[nsanderson]

I had no idea that there had been this problem with the oil

There are various entries on the forum about this but it's one of those widely known (if not communicated to the owners) failures. The announcement that Arcanum Fox let us know about came out just after my car's first service so it's been running on the old Dexos 2 oil for 2 years before the recent swap which was itemised on its second year service.
Seems a lot better since and I'd pretty much always run the engine with the Sainsbury's super 97 RON petrol as it seemed to give better mpg but one wonders if there is any damage already done? Makes me think about trading it in for an end-of-line 2.0CDTi J...

Picking up car from Eden Reading lunchtime. Quite a quick turnaround from them. Let's hope it all works like new.

Will let you know.

So far so good.

Clutch required new slave cylinder.

Five mile drive to work fine. Hoping it's going to be a little less thirsty than before.

@nsanderson
i havent been made aware of any oil problems, it is only reading about it on this page. I am sorry to hear what you have all experienced.
