Did I say that diesel ENGINES run hotter than petrol ones ? I must have missed that one, because I'm prettty sure I said the turbo.

What age was your TDi when gotten rid of (at 400k) because I've said, quite clearly, that almost all of these issues apply to the latest, modern diesel engines.

However, I'll entirely agree with you regarding your oil change interval. These 18k/20k mile intervals are destroying engines, timing chains and the like. 10k is the way to go, and I'll certainly be doing that with my F31.
