Hi Steve, I’m really shocked by the condition of the engine with only 31k miles. Can it really be down to not enough oil changes or is something else contaminating the oil? I’ve been using the BMW fuel additive for some time now, although I appreciate this will not help the direct injection value issue. The fact that BMW recommend one tin of their fuel additive per tank makes me suspicions.
My wife’s Ford Focus is now in 130K. It’s been totally abused from new and is now over 10 years old. Nothing but short journeys and no regular servicing, The amount of times I have checked the oil level and found nothing on the stick and yet is just keeps on going. The only thing that has ever failed is the starter motor and a fuel pipe link.
Anyway it sounds like I need to come and see you sometime for a gearbox oil change and walnut blast.
