I desperate need for help. 2004 C70 with a soft top. Zero issues to date with this top. The wife and I went for a ride yesterday since the weather was great. The top opened just as it always has, no issues and a smooth 40 second cycle time. My issue started that evening when I went to close the car ...

Engines scrap, oil is full of metal. Nice to see a reputable dealer would sell a smoked engine as ‘a good car’.

Let me try this again.



Thanks again

Oil is clean, a smooth golden honey

If this has been addressed, my apologies. I’ve looked but haven’t found anything, and I’m on my phone. The long version is: excessive rain, when moving the car into the driveway I took a little water over the engine I think... I ended up cooking two cool packs. Multiple cylinder misfires and I ended...
