But the old women on here tell us that these are chocolate engines and need soooooo special treatment??
How can they possibly exceed 20,000 miles without a complete overhaul??
62,500 MY00 and the same brake pads/discs/exhaust/clutch/ECU/MAF/Turbo ... never blown up, never put a foot wrong!!
Then again I don't play silly buggers and change anything!!
