You wouldn't be the first person this has happened to !

 

nope!!!

 

when i was at ztech we had 6-8 faulty turbos on the trot. Excuse was bad batch of bearings. Yeh thats great so when we have to pull the engine amongst other things its ok! And i dont think customers see the funny side!

 

did not realise it was midland turbo gaz, thought you were getting them done at dynamics bud?

if the turbo is at fault gaz, unfortunatly the fitter has to take the hit on the labour! they dont compensate labour just replace the faulty unit :mac1:

 

it makes me mad, that they can supply a turbo unit thats faulty and dont compensate

hi gaz - you dont that compression test yet mate - how was it ?

 

Regards,
