Justforfun Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Had my hybrid fitted today got the car started and began smoking badly straight away. Got underneath and there was oil leaking from the C'clip that goes around the turbo. It's a brand new turbo. Any idea what the problem is. The lad who fitted it said the oil seal was gone on the turbo but it's a brand new turbo. Edited January 13, 2016 by Justforfun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StuDoc 72 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Im sure folk would use this to slate them. Truth is in any sector of the market there will be faulty products they can be judged on how they handle that scenario and based on this I would say quite well. Glad its been a good outcome. That said. The boy you had fit it did he prime the turbo prior to starting the engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the same guy I've used for years with never any issues what so ever with this being the first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I told them I had no problem sending it back once they paid the postage as I wasn't prepared to pay it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
