Turbo failure again

[Joe :)]

So I took my Clio for a turbo replacement as it was gone, after getting it back the garage is saying that the engines got too much pressure therefore is blowing the turbo. HELP please is that true can what could it be

"The engines got to much pressure " wtf !!!!!!

Even if the engine had "to much pressure" when its running thats the job for the wastegate to limit the boost/pressure

Sound like bull mate.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Where did you buy the replacement?

Did you replace the oil feed and return lines?

Sorry,has the replacement turbo blown?Are they talking too much boost,or too much oil pressue?

 

[Joe :)]

Sorry for the late reply I when down the garage and now it dropping oil out the rocket cover. His saying its the bottom end pressure that's causing the rocketcover to piss out oil. He also said that he has checked the oil breathers. (They send it off to be replaced)

Oil pressure..

If it's breathing then it's knackered rings. I took one apart today that the oil scraper ring just fell apart when I popped the piston out the bore.

What's the cost of a job like that then :s

 

[Dan@SJM]

Cheaper to buy another engine.

 

[Joe :)]

What's a ruff price 500, 250 for the engine and 250 labour 7 hours £32 per hour

 

[Dan@SJM]

7 hours?! You're looking closer to 12 for a replacement.

Also you'll be hard pushed to find a garage that Charges that little labour. I'm at £45/hr.

 

[Matt W]

7 hours? Good luck with that.

 

[Joe :)]

Can a man not wishful think around here it's a mates garage that's why it's cheaper

Good luck at 32 a hour. Especially as you'll want a specialist.

Had anyone noticed if we are talking about a f4r turbo or a dci ?

if a dci , it actually states on the turbo replacement instructions to replace oil feed and return lines / clear out intercooler and pipe work.

I've done allot of dci. Engine changes now and it still takes me 8/9 hours to do everything properly ( not bodge any old bolt in any place o leave a few out )

10/12hours is optimistic on an f4r I'd suspect being more crammed in the bay.


Im betting the return has been restricted and kill the turbo, done more damage to the engine from it

Good luck at 32 a hour. Especially as you'll want a specialist.

Why would you need a specialist to swap a dci engine over? Or am I missing something here??

 

[Joe :)]

They are now saying Its the headgasket as there's a oil way from the bottom end the the head.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

and what does oil do when i leaks out of an engine.... it goes everywhere. gravity will pull it down.

if your cam cover is pissing out oil, i'll be running down the head onto the headgasket and everything else.

VERY rare a head gasket goes on a 1.5dci !

 

[Joe :)]

The cam cover is leaking but I replaced it about 2 months ago, what pressure when the cars running should you feel out the oil filler cap and dip stick.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Feel a little, but place the cap down, if it dances about the rings are away
