Apparantly this latest fix is as of last month
Anyone else heard this
Quite some time ago it was tentatively determined that there was nothing wrong with the turbo's as such, but some of them didn't flow enough oil, and that a modification to the PCV would increase the flow through the turbo. It was a fix "in development", are we able to confirm that the "venitlation kit" fix being installed is a replacement PCV solution?
Rather late in the 07 warranty cycle to be releasing $1200 replacement components at their cost....
