DS3-R Engine Issues

fair point- think thats why they stopped making the Racing

[darths3]

Its a new engine tho Rag

actually i think it is a diffrent engine because the service manager said its got a diffrent oil pump and oil cooler to the ones on the old one? hes said its the new peugeot one not the BMW one ? dunno if thats bull but ive seen the list of parts and it came to 8k on the bill

Might have a good one (engine) there- and also excuse not to accept if its not the specified engine for the car
On the rollers soon:rolleyes:

Surely the dealer needs to be careful that if it's a different type engine that your insurance is still valid ?

and the DVLA

[lfcrule1972]

Yeah good point, wonder if this is dealer waffle ?

Guys if there were any updates to the engine since his car was made then an updated engine would have been installed not an "original"
