- carbon buildup on the valve clearance on cylinder 2.
They could not give me an explanation other than that it must have been bad maintenance..
The solution was that they were going to clean it up and check the piston rings and cylinders.
A week later they call me again. The story is that they needed to stop the car along side the highway because they heard a noise from the engine and towed it back to the workshop.
This was their diagnose nr: 2
- The crank shaft was damaged and the bearings were toast, one bearing spun.
- Extreme heat damage on the crank shaft.
They told me that this might have been a long going problem with my car/ bad maintenance and only now resulted in the damage.
All of this is extremely fishy, so many things not adding up. Before i mention them i would like some input from you guys. What do you think happened here? I want to add that the car has been maintained correctly and by the book.

Well pooooooo -
I would guess that the folks that did the recall work screwed up and the engine burnt up due to oil starvation.
I would suggest you take your case to the owner of the dealership and ask them to replace the engine.
