all this low mile cars will not help the threat to find the highest number.
It should be, post if you have more miles than the user above. |

Other's here with true mechanical knowledge will know more about the cause. My understanding is that it is not uncommon in the M97 engine Solved the IMS problem but have this instead. It is also my understanding that it can occur a lot sooner than it happened to me but with the benefit of hindsight, I suspect it had been brewing for a while given the oil consumption.
My car is a 2008 C4 Cab that was bought new in 2009 and used as a daily driver ever since. Winter wheels and hardtop added early on so it was used year round for a 80 mile RT commute. I had some awesome runs drifting in in some monster snow storms. In fact, I was hoping to retire it in a couple of years form daily service and turn it it to a rally car just for the fun of using it in the snow. When new, I burned quite a bit of oil until I hit around 10-12k miles and then it settled down to a quart or so for each 10k. Once I went over 100k, oil consumption started going back up but well within specs. But once I got into the 140s it was a quart per 2k and then, just before I diagnosed the scoring (scoped by 2 mechanics) I was using a quart every few hundred miles. Chinsky |

I totally agree, after reading bad things all the time, it really makes me wonder if I should keep the car long term... Updates like these help me a lot.
