I'd recently read a few horrow stories where the oil strainer had blocked and starved the turbo of oil resulting in a blown turbo and a knackered engine!
I'm just booking my car in for a major service and cambelt replacement and enquired about the oil strainer at the same time. I have been told that the strainer intself is very cheap but it is difficult to change (2 hours labour). does anyone here think it is worth me getting this changed just to be on the safe side as my milage is creeping towards 120K?
Any advice appreciated.
