Thanks for your warning kelisko and AATW. I work at a VW dealership, so I'm going to see about having a compression test run.

Since I'm in the sales side of the business, it's not hard to imagine...

Wow! Doesn't sound like a "money pit" to me.

My concern was, I've been driving a 2006 Infiniti M35 Sport for the last 10 years. I bought it with 100K and now it's just short of 200K. It's been...

Thanks AATW. What would be the concern for having a compression test done? My understanding is, the 2016 has the dual injection set up and less likely to have carbon issues.

School me please

I did a search but without much result. I'd like to know the common issues (and at what miles) the C7 is known for. How does the 2.0 compare to the 3.0 if you're just looking for a daily driver? I've...

Thanks BlueSander. That's great advise.

I'm confident with the $300-400 as I'm a good DIY'r and the parts would run $200-300. The dealer on the other hand wants $2K to do the repairs and I'd...
