I am a hardstuck plat 2 player. I know I'm not great, but in the last couple weeks, I have been getting random silvers on the opposing team that move and shoot like a crim level player and almost always end up first on the leaderboard. Are a lot of people smurfing to get easier lobbies on ranked or something?
Hey all,
Posting this on behalf of my girlfriend. She has a 2024 Tig SE with about 35k miles on it. About 4 months ago, she got the dreaded low oil light. I topped it off with OE spec 0w20, and told her to watch it. Not a week later, it came back on. I followed behind her in my car while she was driving, and she was getting a good amount of blue smoke out of her tailpipe. Still under warranty, so we took it to the dealer, and they inspected and said that the valve stem seals had popped out. They replaced all the valve stem seals, and all was good for about a month.
Cut to a month later, same oil consumption issue. Took it back to the same dealer (Strong Volkswagen in Salt Lake City, UT) and they were great. Told her they would do some diagnostics and give her a call back. They called us and told us that the valve guides in the head had gone bad, so oil was escaping thru the valve stem seals and down into the combustion chamber. They did a full cylinder head replacement covered under warranty, and gave my girlfriend a rental car the whole time they had hers. The Service Manager I talked to mentioned that his service department was doing around 5-6 of these per week. Since then, the car seems to be running great.
My question is around the cylinder head. The Service Manager mentioned that the cylinder head that was being installed was a revised design with new valve guides that are to a much tighter tolerance. I tried doing some research to confirm this (I'm a pretty competent home mechanic and have rebuilt a few engines myself) and am having a hard time finding any info.
Can anyone confirm if 06L-103-064-S is a revised part number, or did they just slap the same head on that will have the same issues in another 30k miles?
