Car Dead help needed...

<< < (3/5) > >>

Gene Hunt:
Has the coolant got the gungy mayo look to it ?, if so i would say headgasket has gone.

cuprak1:
Coolant looks ok and no traces of mayo etc, the car is only a year old lol its bad if HG goes even with increased boost etc but lets hope seat can narrow it down first..

what at the warantee stipulations here, like will i have to pay for the time they spend trying to locate the problem? etc

vRStu:
Depends very much on your dealer.  Some may very well tell you they'll not touch it at all if they realise it's running 360hp  :evilgrin:

joesgti:
id get the map and everything else taken off before seat even look at it, i remember a lad broke his engine and seat wouldnt touch it as it had been mapped.  :scared:

also car has probably gone into limp mode to protect the turbo from damage. thats why no boost.  :smiley:

gillm:
do a compression test . or leak down test
