Failed the test after the 1000km interval. SA told me that the oil consumption rate was just outside what was permissible. if I recall something like 0.6l per 1000km. Almost like the 1l per 1600km quoted by Mangkor. So as a result I was told they had to order the necessary parts to replace the engine block, piston rings and a host of ancillary parts. Waiting for the parts took almost a month and then another 10 days for them to swap out the parts. If and when you do have to send in your car for the transplant, do insist on a courtesy car!mangkor,Thanks for the further explanation tho I must say it does sound too technical for a layman like me. Bottomline is I've had to do the transplant already and is now observing the oil consumption to see if it's better now or not.Cheers</blockquote>
