This would appear to be a very simple barometer for what's going on in the engine, it's like a 5 minute job to get it off. Black deposits on the walls of the timing chain casing is not yet reason to walk away from the car, mine had that and the sump was basically fine.
If it gets a clean bill of health now, you use synthetic oil changed at not more than 5000mi or 6 months, keep an eye on the condition of the PCV system, you should never have to worry.
I've been through the loop with my 2000 Aero SW, fixed the SID for free, did the sludge check, will get a new DIC in March I assume (original DIC by the way, 115,000km and still fine). Even with all that I'd buy it again, love the car.
Cheers
Steve
