Zd30 reconditoned motor using oil
Have 00 GUII with reco motor from North Vic engines, also reco turbo from Denco and Reco fuel pump, engine done less than 30 thou km and using around 2 to 2.5l of oil per 1000k trip, catch can fitted and fills with about 500mils per 1000km.
Anyone else had issues with engines from this mob, as I feel I am being d**ed around an am seriously questioning their honesty/reliability.

Castrol 10/40 mineral as recomended, also had services done in accordance with their recomendations by mechanic. North Vic wants the car/engine there and coming up with excuses as to why it wouldn't be under warranty eg low oil etc... it's a risk cause I just don't have the $6k they quoting me to replace the engine if they not under under warranty.
Bloody thing has cost me over $20k so far

Yep some of these reco crowds are scumbags to be sure but which one is good is a lottery it seems ,maybe a visit to Vcat or consumer affairs might be in order .
Son had a similar thing from a North Victorian engine reco mob but I doubt we're talking about the same company .

Would not be suprised if it were the same, moved to Cobram, calling themselves NorthVic Engines, the guy I been dealing with is real smarmy talks down to you, offered me a new engine if needed at a fantastic price 20% off.. and wasn't prepared to let my qualified mechanic diagnose it, had to go back to them..
