I did do a flow test on the mentioned vehicle, the only thing that i didnt Replace or strip to inspect was the oil pump itself. I agree it is like performing a heart transplant but i personaly blame the sevice intervals, burning oil carboning up oilways and journals. I always recomend to my customers that i change the oil more frequently than the manufacturers advise but thats just me i suppose. Main peugeot agent in norwich where he took it after me, fitted a turbo and when that one blew they then told him the only way to quarante this will not happen again would be to fit a new engine which i told the fella in the first place because i had done some reserch on these engines.
Unfortunatly that was at a cost to him of 4000 pound. As you would expect he decided to scrap the car. As to the question about the bill, he did pay for the first turbo from me, second was under quarente but as we have a very good relationship he was very understnding and could see that his car was the problem and not our turbos or workmanship.
This car left me feeling very deflated but haho.
Thanks for the chat about this one but i think we can safely say that if another one comes throught my workshop door, i will turn then away!!.
