akyakapotter Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 So annoyed with the car sat there yesterday and worked out how much money I could roughly get if I broke it. Seams to spend more time off the road than on it at the moment stupid glanza. Quote

Liam_D Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Keep me posted on what happens with the turbo mate! Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Still waiting on the turbo being taken to bits hate when stuff goes to a third party. Hopefully I have it back early next week as have a local car show to attend bloody car lol Quote
MARC MOSS Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Ahh the joys of high powered car ownership, stick with it mate all will be fine Quote
Starbuck Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Fucking hell Nick....... Hope you get it sorted Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Turns out the Turbo isn't covered under warranty was not happy about it but have worked it out with Mike and have come to an agreement which we are both happy with. The Turbo will be back with me Friday.This is what was Mike received from the turbo builders. "Right weve had a chance to inspect the turbo now, it has excessive movement both axially (in and out) and radially (side to side). The reason for this a heavily worn thrust bearing. This sort of wear is consistent with one or both of the following scenarios:Excessive Rotor Speed as the turbo spins faster and faster oil shear occurs and the hydrodynamic bearing system begins to fail allowing components to come into contact with themselves. This removes material and the problem snowballs from there.A breakdown in the film of oil required between components due to another situation occurring such as reduced oil pressure or oil contamination.The excessive movement on the rotor assembly has allowed the compressor wheel to begin contacting with the radius of the compressor cover profile leading to wear on the blades. This part will require replacing. Additionally the wear to the turbocharger internally will require the fitment of oversize bearings and piston ring oil seals.Unfortunately neither of these scenarios are covered under the warranty as they are not caused by a faulty component within the turbocharger. In order to get the turbocharger operational again it will require a full overhaul (including new piston ring oil seals and bearings) Quote
akaye4000 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Same excuse every turbo company use to get out of warranty. Hope it last more than 2K after you get it back Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Same excuse every turbo company use to get out of warranty. Hope it last more than 2K after you get it backDefo mate should have left it with my old set up that was amazing it never broke lol Quote
H_D Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Personally I would stick to a stock td04 as they are less likely to fail.Either way I hope it gets sorted and works out in the end. Quote

akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Thats pretty poor show from TD if you ask meThing is mate its not Mike it's the turbo builders that have refused to do it under warranty anything to get out it. Quote
Gainzy Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Pretty shit that mate sounds like there talking out the arse they probably put shit bearings in to start with that turbo should cope alot more miles. Quote
