Hi Guys,
Urgent advice needed
, my Seat leon has had loads of problems despit it only doing just over 42k miles and buying it with 20k miles on the clock,
They are as follows;
1. Replaced Tandum Pump Due to Leaking
2. Replaced Fuel Filter Due to Contamination
3. Replaced Fuel Pump Inside Tank Due to Consequential Damage
4. Replaced Both Inter – Cooler Pipe Seals Due To Leaking
5. Turbo Inter – Cooler Pipe Clip Fractured
6. Replaced Off Side Front Wheel Bearing Due to being Noisy
7. Replaced faulty Radio Ariel Base Due to Water Contamination
8. Rectified Bad Connection on Near Side Rear Lamp Unit due to Bulb Failure Light
9. Replaced Pollen Filter Due to Bad Smell when Air Conditioning is on
10. Fault With Wing Mirror not Always Folding Correctly
The newest problem is that the Turbo has failed and Seat have Quoted in excess of £900 for a new one which is rediculus considering all the problems i have had,
I have had a technical report back from from the people i bough my new turbo from and it reads as follows;
SUMMARY
1) Variable Geometry Mechanism (VGT) sticking between maximum and minimum flow position due to heavy carbon build up.
2) Actuator setting correct.
3) Damaged compressor wheel. Piece broken from inducer vane.
CONCLUSIONS:
Incorrect boost pressure is experienced when the VGT mechanism is in an incorrect position relative to engine speed and load.
When severe carbon build up is present suggests that the engine could have burnt a large amount of residual oil or fuel from the cylinders. This type of carbon build up can also occur when the engine ‘runs away’ ignited by the transfer of lubricating oil into the cylinders, faulty EGR, faulty Mass air flow meter and power upgrades. Please note that the examples listed are not exhaustive.
Stress fracture to Compressor wheel.
- So my question to anyone who can help is would any of the problems mentioned have contributed to the damaged Turbo and has anyone else had an incident like this??
Thanks for all your help.
