Same thing in Sweden minus the free part....they thought I was making a run for it and came after me telling me I have to pay haha

Nonetheless, I belive the issue in this thread is linked to a bad head gasket with the possibility of over filling with oil. My friend made this mistake with his 4.8is and the car basically threw up the excess oil, damaging the gaskets...resulting in the coolant entering places it shouldn't.
