No not the lung kind ;)

 

Basically i jut wanna have a chat with someone very experienced, i have several issues with my car after spending 12k on an engine rebuild with a 'performance' company.

 

It burns a lot of oil (smokes like a fooker) and leaks oil on the driveway, i have the speed sensor issue too that i cannot trace. Anyway ive since figured out that my pipe round the back of the engine (the oil breather PCV) is a long straight pipe, looks like an overide.

 

Can someone text me and i'll phone em back to discuss.

12k on a rebuild!!!!!!!! if its smoking, take it straight back to em.

LOL m8, ask syko all about this, he knows what a long drawn out affair its been for me already, the rebuild took 2 years...

 

Basically im wasting my time, cuz really they (Noble Motorsport) dont know what the hell is wrong, i got the 'its running in, so it will smoke for a while' story, it did settle down a bit, but it still smokes and leaks oil on the driveway, for 12k engine, im totally disheartened at the end result...

 

One thing ive noticed though which you guys really should consider, is that when you hand your car over to these experts you think its in safe hands, but once youve left, they hand it over to the apprentice to do all the leg work, and the expert simply takes a quick look at the end. No offence to them, but i dont want any apprentice 'learning' on MY car. This i suspect is the problem with lots of the issues being overlooked but the junior mechanics they train up.

 

To be honest ive always been wary of these cowboys, but what other choices do we have? This is one of these reasons i got Syko to do my gearbox conversion, that little bit of extra attention to the job at hand goes a long way. Hes a good man by the way, but a busy man and he lives miles away!! :P

 

Anyway sorry for the rant, im sure lots of you guys have been where i am now :)

Yeah,i know what your going through mate,my car has pretty much the same problem as yours only i aint had a rebuild just brand new turbos. Like you say, you think when you take it in they know what their doing but sometimes it does make me wonder. Anyway mate,good luck with it all.

Thats why it's always better to take it to a specialist that is recommended on here.
