it is interesting to note that it does appear to have been a fault with the car rather than driving sttyle- so you're doing nothing wrong, euromodder

The only thing I can think of is, does the ecomodding style of driving cause the engine to spend lots of time operating outwith the mapping profie for the ECU ?

I'm thinking of things like long periods at idle (e.g. E(on)C)

Certainly My Scaab didnt seem to take particularly kindly to that particular persuit, although it did return good figures!

What I'm getting at is this- did your endeavours to get better MPG have a detrimental effect on the longevity of the components?

Certainly my NA 318iS seems happier than the turbo Scaab with em using the same techniques and thier Cd and CC of engines are similar
