11 months after the first occurrence and engine replacement it HAPPENED AGAIN!!! I've only had it for 14 months at this point. The engine light came on when i was leaving the driveway going ~ 5-8mph.
i said to myself "oh $^#&# it better not be a blown piston again.." But sure enough it was... i checked the ODB reader and got P0303 (cursing loudly) I took the plug out and put in a scope I borrowed and sure enough it was cracked on the head. A compression test I did resulted in 35psi in Cylinder #3. The plug was covered in carbon and oil...
At this point the warranty would only cover the $575 for a replacement engine and $450 in labor. I would have to pay $2200+ fluids & seals out of pocket. Which I would have to give them every dollar I had and max out my credit card. NOPE NOPE... I picked up the car and replacement engine with an option to bring back the old engine for a full refund on the replacements cost, (heck yes I will) and hauled them away to a reliable relative who just started his own auto shop. Total cost for this will be a bit over $1,000 for labor & fluids.
The car almost isn't worth the effort if its going to blow a piston every year. A new engine has about 80k miles 20k less than the 100k now and I drive about ~7k/yr.
