Bad times,
Picked up the car on friday with the new vf 28 turbo fitted and its still smoking, have driven it for about 100 miles hoping it was oil in the exhaust that just needed clearing out but checked the dip stick today and its bone dry,
Still kicking out loads of smoke when i pull away and most of the time on over run,
Im gutted, just spent £500 on the turbo and labour and still not right, its back down the garage now to see whats what, im thinking possibly the turbos failed again as symptoms are identical.......also going to insist on a compression test this time.
I did see my original turbo and it had definately failed as there was a huge amount of play in the shaft..... could i be that unlucky to have two turbos fail or could it be that i have a another problem and that the turbo happened to go at the same time or the original problem caused the failure...head really done in
Rubbish.....
