- 204ps Bi-Turbo CXEB T6 Engine & Turbo problems -

Most aftermarket warranties (or more correctly, mechanical breakdown insurance policies) are underwritten in the UK by one of four companies, and all are FCA regulated.

It's not unheard of for them to send an assessor out to "check the work" for claims on such a policy, but it's unusual and most definitely not the norm, so there is unlikely to be a significant delay on that front.

Have you worked in a garage before as a technician? Or for franchise.

other 204ps members unaffected: AKA THE LUCKY LIST

this could be due to the 2019 revisions? - (possibly the 2016-2019 range as there is a mention that the CXEB Block/Pistons etc was revised in 2019)

@Bigsidavies 2017 CXEB 204 - (135k miles so far) (EGR delete, + EGR Delete Map @ xxx miles)
@VanDamMan
@BoroBoy
@catfood12 - 2017 CXEB, 50K miles. Oil changes every 8-10k. Revo remap. Lots of mechanical sympathy, gentle warm up and turbo cool down
@True Romance - 2017 CXEB. Just about to hit 30k miles. Oil change every year. Consumption very low. Only do about 5k per year but nearly all long runs.
@


.

2017 Caravelle 4-motion (family car use) CXEB, serviced annually (covers 7-10k miles a year mixed short and long journeys but mainly short), oil flushed with Forte, castrol premium oil used, currently on 70k miles, EGR mapped out and blanked @ 58k miles (preventative maintenance reasons), engine remapped at the same time. Also tow a large caravan (engine heavily loaded for long durations a few times a year). Engine breathes heavy (running with oil cap off), loss of power compared to when it was new but not hugely significant, currently uses about ~1L oil between services.

Looking at the logs when it come back to life..... Looks like a day to remove the engine. A day to swap over parts and build the engine on the bench. A day or two to replace the engine and other parts. Then test drive and bits. .

I’m currently having the oil consumption test
Have you had a favourable outcome?

No as I’m only 320 miles into it but level already dropped on dipstick , its back into the dealer on the 9th of December. I’m pretty confident it will fail the 0.5 litre drop test, it’s all a bit of a worry.

You can follow my progress here:

Manual says 1ltr to 2000km (1200miles is normal!) Wow does it. So actually I might be OK. Compared to a car that is still shocking, but I can handle that. Thanks for pointing that out. Might have a look for that now, haha.

Mine is three years and a few days old and has done only 3000 miles, all confirmed.

As seen I negotiated the labor discount up to 50% besides the VAG 80% discount on parts.

According to the legal counseling I took this is a pretty decent deal.
So I have agreed, and the work will be done mid January.

If further questions let me know.

What I found was that long drives made the issue crystal clear.
So after the initiated weighing I took a few long drives and that did it.
