Email sent to FPP saying they have a customer if they make them. ��

Thanks to ZR and Zippy for an all but routine oil change on BuRT today. Now I have to deal with Ford about a new oil pan.

^ Situation is unfortunate to say the least. Hope you get looked after properly.

Oh no! New oil pan?

Stephan might have the two piece ecoboost plastic oil pan? They are notorious for leaking...

The pan is not leaking, but the drain plug socket was damaged during an oil change at a dealership. The tabs inside the oil drain hole that hold the cam-style drain plug in place have been broken off. ZR rigged something up as a temporary fix.

VW TDI. 2012 Passat. PCV is blocked. Well its a VW. no replaceable CCV or PCV. You must buy a new valve cover at over $450 bucks. Also requires removal of the fuel injectors requiring an injector removal tool and thus also requires new injector seals, hold down bolts and o-rings. My solution is found a Chinese cheapo valve cover on amazon for an unbelievable $66 and ordered the injector seals from rock auto. Then sell the car. Last trip to Toronto it leaked out a bunch of antifreeze, rear sway bar link broke, started leaking oil due to blocked pcv and flywheel started clunking. So $770 for a new oil cooler now the valve cover $90 bucks for a 3" long sway bar link and since it's a dual mass flywheel for the dsg it's $1350 for a new one or $800 for a cheap Chinese one. As ZR Knows on a previous trip to the big city $650 bucks for a new Def pump (3rd one). It really sounds crappy but it has 290,000 km. These are the first problems and I've had it since 2015. Just time to send it on it's way. We've only had 2 Dailys since 2004. A new 2005 Passat tdi sold it at 320,000km and bought this one used at 60k. Were gonna stick with VW since overall they have been very good to us and can't beat the 12yr unlimited mile rust warranty. Sadly now its 7yr. But they replace any rusted panel that is not caused by a rock chip. Doesn't need to be a hole. Just a paint bubble will do it.

Sunday fun - in addition to taking apart the washing machine I noticed the passenger side mirror on the ATS was loose. Turned out to be failed internal mount/swivel inside the mirror unit - guessing brine ate away at the metal parts which just crumbled today when I was removing the mirror.
