They happened to offer a good price for engine flush at last service and I took it ! Relief! 07 TDV8 + BAS map |

My service invoices have shown engine flush every time for the last three years. Both turbos went last month...
I wonder if the oil scavenger pump is marginal and so leads to the oil not been cleared from the turbos correctly...if so, the oil might be getting cooked in the return pipe reducing (and then blocking) its bore and flow leading to failing of oil seals and thus turbos. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

It's not about pumps or oil pick up, and milage is not a factor in failures. Mine only had 8k on the clock the first time, 48k the terminal time and had a full dealer service history having been serviced three months and 3000 miles prior to failure.

Was always careful letting mine warm up and cool down, always let it idle for 30 secs before switch off regardless of tiddling in traffic or spirited drive. Mine failed after being parked up for periods of time on each occasion so valid question. There are two trains of thought in mechanic circles, some say idling does more damage than not blah blah blah. In the case of a racing engine that is over fueling fair enough.
