Excuse me if there is similar thread somewhere around here, but I did not find one.
So... Recently I've watched few videos on youtube, where guys were telling that new turbocharged petrol engines wear out very soon. Some numbers were mentioned. Something like 150k km.
There are some points to that. For example aluminium engine blocks are much weaker than cast iron ones. Overall tendencies to make engines as light and as efficient as possible is no good for reliability also. Direct injection does a sh*ty job on cleaning the valves from petrol burning products (that's why Toyota is using direct injection and port injection in the same engines).
So what you guys think about that and what is your experience? I've tried to find petrol Insignias for sale online which would have driven a lot of kilometers, but couldn't find such... and I wonder why?
