Yet I still see people pop up in car forums with the same or similar issues that I have - their cars are 5-6 years newer than mine, even with updated engines.
The frequency might be a bit lower - though these newer cars don't yet have as many miles on them - but the issues are still there.
Gotta check out my car tomorrow - there's oil on the crankcase ventilation tube and on the air intake where the vent connects to it.
PSA / FoMoCo still use a plastic rack & pinion on the throttle valves - these simply wear out over time, skip teeth, or simply stop moving at all.
Mazda and Mitsubishi have recently kicked out PSA as their Diesel engine supplier.
