VGT Turbos Do not bark for long, If the back pressure is that great they will be a final BOOM looming in the near future. Never heard of the 3.0VM Honeywell Turbos barking (Honeywell is the primary share holder in Garrett Turbos).

Correct, I advice if you see the message to continue to drive do So, until it counts down and the message disappears.

Sometimes you need to surf around until you fin the correct control unit, Do you have the bypass module install since its 2019, its odd generally W/O the Bypass the connect states cannot communicate with module.

If you are tech Savvy ALFA- OBD will read codes, along with many other options, IMO necessary in Owning the 3.0VM.

You and 10,000+ others, The new engines come with the same inherited risk. You made the Cut the engine is now out of production and its Remans from here out, There may be exceptions being still used in Europe.

Me Two Chris, Just want owners to be prepare for what may or may not be the case. The Heat issue is likely related to the 3-Way Valve. Chris at the mileage Your at, its going to cost Some $$$$ in long term ownership.

Yep and when they take that intake off it going to look like this.

They could be talking about the manifold Gaskets, but those going bad are extremely rare, its a multi-layer compression Gasket, its wedged at both mating surfaces.

What intake gasket, They are all O-Rings.

Do the OA before repairs. Its just extremely difficult to get all the lube out, Just about everything needs replacing, Hoses, Radiator, Exchanger, 3-way Valve, Etc, and Hours of flushing out of engine.

$6000.00 high IMO. I take they are replacing the entire coolant system including the radiator. I would Stop any repairs until Oil sample is taken and send to lab for Analysis, If coolant is found in triple digits PPM Most likely wear has resulted and if wear is found in the sample the engine is...

Its the Pressure, the Oil exchanger has failed, Generally the Oil pressure is much higher then coolant pressure, So Oil leaks into coolant, when no pressure exist, it possible with engine off for the coolant to leak into oil. I take it the 2015 is out of warranty.

In some cases its New Engine, Its extremely difficult to remove all the Oil that has leaked in the Coolant, Worst yet if Coolant leaked into crankcase.
