Wait till the thermostat fails (it’s when, not if!) as the supercharger has to be lifted to get to it. Everything age related that fails is under it (coolant hoses, PCV, injectors etc) the supercharger also needs to be removed to change the oil in it……the revised PCV did reduce oil consumption a bit, but still requires a top up between annual services. Just one now, rather than two!
David has some experience of these jobs - you can guess from working on which car lol
You’re doing well on fuel if that’s a tank average - best I get is 26-28 mpg on a long run (possibly down to the greater drag of the 20s, but just as likely to be my inability to drive it slowly!). This time of year with lots of local runs it drops to 16-18mpg average. It REALLY chucks fuel in on a cold start.
