I am pretty shocked they didn't change the oil.

even i know the oil should be changed with a new turbo. espicially if the old one failed! makes you wonder about the "mechanics" who did the job, if they knew owt they would have know to change the oil! I'd be going ape with them for not changing the oil, let alone it not fixing the problem!

Dual mass flywheel.

Mine has always done this - you should hear the enormous clang/crash/squeel when I first start it :shock: it's getting kind of embarassing now.

Not really a problem though, you just have to wait until it fails! I've been waiting 2.5 years :|

Good luck checking out the turbo honey bunch.

Oh bugger indeed!....sounds like they may have changed the turbo incorrectly :roll:

Sincerely hoping for a positive outcome here baby.

Excuse me for interupting this blossoming relationship :mrgreen:

missing jubilee clips = air ingress after the air flow meter tut tut :shock:
just wondering if those mechanics that did the work have got a corral to keep their horses in :evil:
Sounds like could possibly have not needed a turbo and if this is the case , supa , i hope TT
provide you the proof and you take that other bunch of fooking dickhead cowboys to the
cleaners.

More complicated engineering and electronics = more ways for the robbing bastards to rip us off !!! :twisted: :twisted:

Only if you pay my fares :P

So what's the deal with flushing? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to find any flushing oil, what's the alternative? Maybe a thinner oil? I wonder how much 5 litres of washing up liquid would cost...
