I'm stuck in the middle of a major problem on this one. Turbo Active reconditioned a pair of turbos for me.....basically just replaced the oil seals as far as I understand it. When refitted to the car there was clouds of oil smoke...the turbos appeared to be flooding with oil.

 

Turbo Active said it couldn't be the turbo's...they reckoned it pointed to a problem with the 'breathing' of the engine. The Garage is insistent the the engine is fine and the turbos are at fault.

I'm inclined to believe the garage as the engine has been well-maintained (57K on UK 1990 Auto) and was only showing the slightest bit of occassional oil smoke from one pipe. The thing is....if Turbo Active are going to piss about delayinfg exchaniging the turbo's...I'm half inclined to get another reconditioned pair fitted to get it back on the road and take them court over the cost of the work on the original pair and the second engine removal.

 

Has anybody else experienced similar problems, not necessarily with Turbo Active, bur with anybody.

 

Input would be greatly appreciated.

Ill eat my own engine if it aint the turbos at fault.

 

Sounds like they were either not sealed ot balanced correctly

 

Go elsewhere and sue the fuckers !!!!

God is coming ...and he dont have stock turbos . . .

Yeah....only trouble with going elsewhere is I don't have any turbo's to offer for reconditioning.....unless I use the ones that appear to have been f**ked up.

 

If I am going to end up taking the other guys to court it wouldn't be a good move to get rid of the evidence.....trouble is I'm not sure how much a pair of recons will cost to buy outright...with no 'trade-in'....any ideas anybody?
