Hi all
I am new to the site and have joined as i need advice on a problem i may have.
My Is220D Sport which i bought in june this year 08 reg went into the garage for a winter check last saturday and it needed topping up with 1 liter of oil they have now placed the car on a oil comsumption check 1000 miles and have told me the car might need all its pistons replaceing and they will need the car for 2 weeks i am novice with car stuff but this sounds like a huge problem also the fuel comsuption is high and mpg is around 30 mg or less at the mo i duuno what to do i feel like giveing them the car back as i dont fancy haveing an engine rebuild done when i have only had the car 4/5 months i had a brand new Golf 2.0tdi sport from new had it 4 years and all it cost me was £180 for the service and i would get 60 mpg + i know the lexus would not do the same but i did not expect it do under 30 mpg for a diesel and adive would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hi thanks for the reply
I guess low mpg is just something we all have to live with my main concern is oil useage i dont do a lot of miles in the lexus due to haveing a van i use for work the car when i bought it had 7567 miles on it and when it went for the winter check it had 9789 miles on and in 2222 the car has used 1 liter of oil i have had the car for 4/5 months now and tbh i dont fancy haveing the engine rebuilt going to see what happens when i have done the 1000 mile's they have asked and take it from there tbh tho if the engine needs rebuilding i think i will prob try get them to change it or send it to auction and go back to Audi/Vw
Thanks for replying
