Suprachargedtt Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 As most of you are aware ive been having an ongoing saga with my hybrids and seals going, they went again and the garage have taken them off under warrenty to get the seals re-done again (3rd time) When the took them off they found one of the blades were bend! thay told me something must have gone through the airfilter and hit the turbo??? surely if this was the case there would be other marks aswell?? to me it looks like it was done with a screwdriver? Delibrately or not?? Wot do you guys think? well at least i found the reason my cars been slow and sluggish james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Im probably wrong but I would have thought that something?? going through the turbos would do more damage than that to a blade and not be so precise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Thats what i thought, there are no other marks on them at all, no sign of anything going in, no light scratches or marks on any other blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezabloke Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Can you not get them to an independent turbo specialist for a second opinion? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Well the company that warrenteed them use a independant specialist, Turbo dynamics (christchurch) to contract the work too, i took the turbos there and they said they think its been done by a screwdriver no way by a fault in the car but dont want to get involved! They were really good and i explained the situation and they said they will fix it free of charge as a goodwill gesture! top bloke!! The problem is i use the sup daily as it is my only form of transport, the garage have the sup at the mo, everyday im without it is a pain so want it back asap. If they were gonna try and charge me it would be a different matter but as they will do it foc then i wont persue it anymore. i just wondered what you guys thought, could it be an accidental screwdriver mishap? or no way that was done on perpose? or it can be bits from air intake?? and would this have effected performance or caused damage/strain elsewhere?? so many questions lol james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 Right...
