Hmmm ... after reading that, the rather innocuous "Front upper control arms loose" on the pre-sale inspection seems less innocuous.


Here is some info on the camshaft adjuster bolts:

My opinion and just saying... I wouldn t own one without a warranty. Not worth the potential headache.

I've had my '15 PGTS for 1 year now (10K mikes) and I have not had a single issue. The front P-Zeros need replacing but that's it. I have a set of N-rated Michelins on order to replace those.
