IMS is bad? How about an Audi then...
 

you can never get to be the world's largest car manufacturer by doing silly things like free repairs and admitting mistakes...

While I definutely feel sorry for Matt. You have to realize that he bought a used car from an independant dealer and the car is out of the usual warranty period both in time and km.

If I were him I would still be upset, but he really is up the creek without a paddle, so to speak.

Only $6000 for a new engine?? That's 2-3x better than porsche ;)

Can someone familiar with this failure mode explain how a broken fuel pump can lead to metal fragment inside the engine?
