It finally happened :'(

dave828 · 02-01-2012, 06:55 PM

Driving home today, i stopped at the traffic lights...Everything was normal, suddenly, i felt the engine missfire alittle thinking it was starting a regen.
Then a loud clatter and a strong vibration started.....Next thing i know "oil pressure too low" flashes up on the MFD and the whole thing stops.

The workforce that were doing roadworks gave me a push to a layby

and i called out the AA and when he got here he said the oil level was fine and everything checked out normal. Except.......My engine had seized

At 133k and full dealer service history, my 407 is dead!

Something failed though to cause that, any idea exactly what failed??

Oh, and which engine... the 1.6 or 2.0??

battlestar · 02-01-2012, 07:33 PM

im with jmkent, do tell.

dave828 · 02-01-2012, 07:40 PM

No definite idea as to the cause yet as it happened under two hours ago but he suspected oil pump failure. its the 1.6hdi

Im devastated

battlestar · 02-01-2012, 07:54 PM

ouch, sorry to hear that. its a lovely car from looking at the pic. hope they can get it fixed for you!

dave828 · 02-01-2012, 08:01 PM

Thanks guys! Ill let you know the outcome, love the thing to bits!

jmkent · 02-01-2012, 08:02 PM

So that is another 1.6HDI we've heard about on here that has had it... is it just coincidence, or is there a trend here with the 1.6??

If everything else is OK on the car, you can just swap the engine for another

I'd be interested to see a picture of the oil filter. Can you take it out and have a look?
This has happened for a reason.
Has your turbo ever failed?

**bettyswollocks** · 02-01-2012, 08:34 PM

Yes interesting i`m running a 1.6hdi , sorry by the way

dave828 · 02-01-2012, 09:03 PM

Got the car at 48k and the service history mentions nothing of a new turbo. Ill have a look at the filter when i can & post a pic, its not due for a service for the next 6k either so the oil should be fine.

davidireland, what would/could the turbo have to do with this if you dont mind me asking?

&& has anybody heard of a similar story or experienced the same?
