I bought 850 turbo, single owner, service recorde at the dealer an all.... I came to know the last owner personally....and she used to stsrt the car and drive... never waiting for engine to warm-up...I came to know now that last year... while she was driving on the highway.. the coolant low lights came on... and still she kept on driving (because she was on highway.. and her baby was at the back) eventually because of the overheating car stopped and was forced to tow it to the dealer... The found that the :Ex Cylinder was badly warp... and therefore changed the ex cylinder and also changed the cam position sensor, thermostat and the water pump....At present I do not know how much oil the car is consuming...

What I want to know is whether by changing the ex-cylinder what ever damage was done to the engine was rectified and that the car is as good as it would have been " has it not been for this kind of Engine Seizure"..... PLease let me know as soon as possible...

Regards,

X
