Hmmmm... to quote the article
Engine one repairs after 185,000 Kilometres... "new Pistons, MAF" et al and while being tuned on the Dyno... IE zero K's... Kaboom "a hole burnt in Piston #4".
OK, anyone want to explain to me how a "brand new 'stronger than factory' Piston" gets a hole burnt in it in, what, 15 minutes ? ...and... what do the mechanics do?... new Pistons, new MAF et al and send them on their way? A double catastrophic failure and no Turbo issues which MUST have been visible on the Dyno.
I see it as more likely an undiagnosed Turbo failure with catastrophic failure at 185,000 K's followed by total balls up of the repair in Cairns.
At least the poor buggers have it going again now. Would love to know who did the fix in Adelaide and exactly what they found
