    Some of my kept bits whenever I do an engine change.

    Is that an incorrectly fitted 2.7 oil filter?

    iT seems that as the D3 gets older it may be happening more often.

    In the latest LRO there is a buying guide for D3 in which they specifically note the incidence of engine failure even going to the extent of naming a source and price of remanufactured engines .

    In UK the remanufactured engine is in the GBP 2000+ area plus dressing and fitting I guess.
    Still probably almost the value of the car over there.

    Regards PhilipA

    No it's an oil filter were the oil has got so hot it melted the plastic, the oil must surely have been boiling. Now that is an example of owner neglect.

    Not related to owner neglect, have you seen the PM I sent you a few days ago regarding timing belts and oil pump replacement?

    Hopefully my old 2007 D3 keeps chugging along, I had a Territory 2.7 fitted after the original engine destroyed itself. I never did find out if it was the crank or it was a failed timing belt tensioner issue. I do wonder

    It gets its service no less than 10,000km.

    The transplanted engine was supposed to have 15,000km only on it but I'm dubious. This was about 5 or 6 years back. Was just trying to work out if timing belts etc are getting close to being due. The D3 has 271 thou and the engine went in at about 190.
