it is missing at least one digit on the ODO reading.
The V6 of that age has a couple of issues. Oil cooler seals leak, oil cooler is in the V of the engine and you have to remove the entire intake, and fuel system ha to be puled to get to it. For two seals, and problem solved. Fuel injector seals will blow out, and produce a leak, which creates this nice black carbon structure, which is a pain to clean up. Seat needs to be cleaned, and then the copper O needs replaced. Oil and engine blow by is sucked out of the valve cover into an area right infront of the turbo. That seal leaks, and it fills the turbo, and Intercooler with oil over a long period of time. Seal at the turbo inlet also leaks. And should be replaced, easy to do when you do the filter change. Maintenance Oil changes cost me about $180 in parts to do it right 10 quarts of oil. Trans oil changes where also about $280, every 40K Fuel filters every 20K Air filters needed to be checked at oil changes, mine had an affinity to suck all the small insects to large insects off the interstate. And the wold need replace 9 time out of 10. As the pressure built do to restrictive filters the oil draw off the vent system would increase. Oh it burned 2 Quarts of oil over the 10,000 mile interval, majority of it was from the breather system. I had a Mann Hummel recovery unit on it, I would get about 1.5 quarts out of the system. Positives, engine ran great, I had a tune done on it, and it would get 27 MPG, never noticed anything I had behind it. I would still be driving it, if I did not find a deal on two BMWs. |
