the engine (2000-2002) has a fundamental design problem with PCV system that became really unreliable when the new pistons design for ultra low emissions (B205 series) was done....
the oil supply line routing to the turbo creates another problem by "cokeing" the oil during heat soak and breaking down the oil that creates the chemicals that when combined with the moisture entering the sump from the PCV problem makes the sludge...
the problem is accelerated by a low temperature climate, short drives, use of non- or semi synthetic oil and extended oil change intervals...
