Thats a good shout.
But surley 400 miles wouldnt **** a set of seals. I mean there must be somethin seriously wrong with my engine to cause so much metal frag that it ****ed a turbo. And why is there nothin wrong with the rest of my engine? its been serviced 3 times and iv just had it a year. Not long before i put the new turbo on and when i put it on it got all the filters and oil changed.
It does seem to be an excuse rather than the actual cause of the problem but ill have to wait and see. The engines covered just over 82k and not one leak from elsewhere on it
Drain pipes fine. worked perfect with my old ko3 which covered 82k, weird how it would only start causing problems now
Can anyone exlain how a standard turbo can run up to 80k without a problem, no smoke ect. But then a fully rebuilt uprated one cant last for 2k?
Makes no sence to me?? Any why did they do away with the water cooling side of things?

just had a thought
Would it be the seals if it isnt blowing smoke through the exhaust even when warm..

It was blowin a **** load of smoke through the exhaust bud, or so one of my mates that was behind me told me. That'll be my sports cat and lambdas f*cked and prob my map sensor
De cat next i suppose.
Well turbos gettin picked up tomorrow so its a waiting game now. Otherwise i was lookin at this. What do you think? pre turbo oilfilter? Blanks out the whole *contamination thing*

Looks okay but you would not know if it was ever blocked before the damage started to happen unless you checked it every day or fitted an oil pressure gauge between this and the turbo.
Good point, im just tryin to think of ways to make sure this dont happen again, a turbo thats done 1600 miles shouldnt really need rebuilt again.
Yesh 1600 or so miles its the **** up...Id tell them straight if it was me..
I paid good money to get it fully rebuilt..

Which was manchester to cornwall and back.....then what you used,Id tell them mate its there fault...

Blah blah bah, inshort.......if it f*cks up...Bad luck. lol

surely with the Recipts ive got for you...Is way more than proof..considering its something like 3month old...
Well thought instead of wastin a new thread id post up some pics of my old cars, see if anyone had seen them goin about.
The first car i owned was a 1.6TD golf, (embaracment)
Got a few mods done to it then my bro took care of it...permenantly lol (no injuries)
Then i got my first mk1 golf and fell in love.
Then came my project build mk1 golf. 1.6 on twin fortes. Took a couple years to build from scratch and sold it on before i finished it.
Its on the road now as far as i know. Had rover half leather recaros in it flushed boot and spare wheel well, disk brakes all round. Lots of little details you wouldnt recognise unless you were a golf fan
Bough this inbetween but never finished it, stripped it and scrapped it
Then there was a nova GTE
Nippy, 1.6 injection with digital dash, think its scrapped now though
Then i bought a 1.1 mk1 which i blew up and changed to a 1.3 with a polo gt box
Then was the mk4 polo, loved the rims off the mk1 so they came with
Was a 1.4 8v but that didnt last long and it soon became a 1.4 16v from a lupo
Then came the golf VR6, loved it, 2 engines later sold it
And now the mighty cupra, bought it pretty standard did this to it
