As a Quality Manager myself and reading the long thread in the German forum I did not understood the root cause and whether it was fixed. Everyone was speculating what the root cause was that results in a devastating wear of the cylinder. I could not imagine that a software change that might lower the temperture or other things would remove the root cause. This engine block is used in slide modifications in a lot of cars that run for ever. When I saw the EGR theory it was a reasonable option and I alrady bought the oilcheck kit end of Sep. When I saw frystyk's screenshots and saw I had the cooler version C I expected the result. The amount of wear is still suprising - means 15 times mir that a normal engine. If you argue the wear ist concentrated you assume that the wear is even higher than 15 times than normal. So I have a 1 year old engine with 20tkm that has a wear of > 300tkm. Perfect!
No Oil consumption yet but that may be because of the diesel introduction- 9% diesel in the oil.
If you follow my logic than you would be surprised how long the cylinder can take that wear - 60-120tkm would mean a 900-1800tkm. Not bad what the cylinder would run would there not be the Al-oxid abrasive be introduced to the diesel-air mix through the exhaust.
Would you not think this would be a reason for a recall? In the pharma world I work in a small risk in patient safety would end your business.
With the effect of that design failure I really don't understand why VW takes the risk of that become more public and ruin the trust of customers further after the damage they habe done with exhaust fraud.
Just my few but .. maybe not for long.
