The crank reluctor wheel requires dropping the transmission on every car I've ever owned lol... eco-diesel isn't special. Another rare failure that has nothing to do with spun bearings... or any supposed underlying quality control issue you keep claiming... Boo hoo your car is complicated to...

You again? Read above genius. He literally just said the magazine covered two eco-diesel engine failures and NEITHER were spun bearings. I must not be paying attention though, right? Why don't you pay attention to what I am saying and what I am replying to instead of continuing to post generic...

I know you're just being facetious, but, my point was that they have done 10x more than what has been done here and they are still just as lost lol. I never tried to infer anyone talking about BMW failures was smarter than anyone here. I was merely a likening the paranoia over there created by...

LOL this is hilarious. So i point out that every number being shared is completely made up and unsubstantiated, and that every statistic being applied is FALSE, and I get told I am spewing mindless BS? There are plenty of people who agree the logic isn't there to support what's being said...

How disrespectful and rude of me to point out that you're being mislead by, and worshiping the word of, someone who outright lies on this forum. I'll let you get back to devaluing your owns cars based on TC's nonsensical posts now... pray your rod bearings don't spin like you keep spinning your...

It's pretty obvious what goes on around here, lots of ignorant bs and NOTHING of the sort of information I asked about... and now again you're another person here trying to use someone's personal work history to impress ME all while presenting 0 actual information. Good job helping answer my...

Real helpful. Just like these threads.

The even bigger issue here is that the information being regurgitated on these forums like the gospel is based off this guys friend giving him sales information from"coon rapids" dealership as if that is representative of the GLOBAL eco-diesel market. The other numbers claiming thousands of...

You realize that epa mandated oil specs are the issue presented there and not a manufacturing defect or "quality control," right? Playing telephone with tidbits of information and morphing it to mean something it doesnt... There is no rod bearing manufacturing defect or quality control issues...

Let me give you a quick lesson in logic and statistics... for the people who didnt make it past high school and think turning wrenches makes them smart... 1 ecodiesel in for service during a month when 10 ecodiesels were sold at some random dealership DOES NOT mean that 1 in 10 ecodiesels have...

I never said it was, now did I? I am alikening the eninge to another high load low rpm turbo configuration from another manufacturer where the same types of retarded threads pop up from people who dont understand the very information they are trying to share.

3rd time I'm asking... what are these quality control issues you've identified?

I don't care who he is or what you THINK he knows. Nothing he is saying is correct. His numbers make 0 logical sense. That is just basic fact. You don't need to know anything about cars to know that is not how statistics work. You can't compare unknown failure statistics to monthly sales...

What does this mean? I can't follow your rambling... a skunk isn't a chicken. What? This engine was awarded several years in a row as a top 10 engine. It's got a forged crank with 2.6" journals, 14mm head studs, single-piece bed-plate with 12mm main bolts, DOHC aluminum head (498lb total...

As others have pointed out, you can't compare CURRENT production rate/month to the average failure rate per month. There is 0 statistical relationship there. You have literally grabbed numbers out of thin air and then drawn completely illogical statistical comparisons from those made up numbers...

I definitely feel a different software. Aem sofware. It's a welcomed difference though. I am very dialed into these things as I race another car... feels to me like they made the throttle mapping a bit more linear which I like. I definitely dont feel any power difference at all just pedal travel...

Someone is probably trolling you because it's a diesel... high load at low rpm is what they do durrrrr. If you have all this info given to you then post it. Otherwise, stop claiming you have all this info while giving only little statements taken out of context. Please provide SOME context if...

You seem to be trying to provide decently useful information, but, I agree with some of the others that it doesnt seem that you actually understand the info that you're relaying. Your posts come off as rambling and exaggeration. I own two inline 6 turbos... an ecodiesel and a bmw 135i. We have...
