I cant imagine which bit they are referring to unless it means the camcover (with ecotec on it), might be if breathers are blocked Shocked

If I were buying a 2.0 I would want to hear it running and ideally under load; too many of them have high bore wear and knock under load (piston slap) you can ignore this up to a point and then a ring breaks.

That's interesting.

I've often wondered why ours makes a fair bit of 'unhappy' noise if you try to take off from a standing start with not-enough revs, or try to accelerate in too high a gear. This could be the problem. At 183k probably not surprising either.
Same sort of noise any car makes on the point of stalling? But needing less than expected provocation?

As to the OP's question, what damage has been done by a high pressure (presumably) oil leak depends how quickly the engine was stopped after the idiot light came on, I guess.

People are just about as happy as they have a mind to be.
