Hello all,
Has anyone been told that the cam shaft and nodules are scratched and engine needs to be replaced? This was from Pug main dealer garage that reported this when fitting new chain on my 156 petrol with 61000 miles. They did a valve clean in February and I have replaced the turbo as that was not performing right apparently. I have been driving it for 3 weeks and it goes great and engine sounds fine on idle. They said to keep the oil right up to top while I looked for another car. I am just going to keep running it but are they trying to get me off their service list I wonder by trying to encourage me to sell, it has been tricky for them to get right as power drops kept occurring after they worked on it and car went back for them to get right several times, they've done last four annual services too at around 7000 miles each year. The chain seems to be the fix at last.
