Helping a friend of a friend with a 09 TC. I'm guessing you all know the issue. Car has quite a oil drinking problem. She is attached to this car like nobody's business and will not get rid of it.
So far, I eliminated oil leaks, changed out pcv system, tried all kind of products all to no measurable improvement. It's that bad.
By the look of the plugs as well as a borescope down the hole, I'm going to be swapping engines. I have never seen cylinder walls that look like they were mirrors. It's ridiculous.
My question. Has anyone had good luck with a low mileage used engine as far as long term??? I'm thinking the used engine will have the same issue down the road if not right away.
Has anyone had good luck with a rebuild of one of these engines???
