are so i was right then --thing it got the illness of my car

  at the fuel pump , ??????

wonder if they read this forum?
is your work being done under warranty?
weird they turning work away because you have some mods?

be interesting to know if you have an underlying fault whic is causing your timing pull back which could have affected your turbo seals?
what milage you on now?

[heavyd]

Not under warranty, have to pay for the work myself . I told the service desk parts I had replaced this year for them to rule things out. The fuel pump looks very shiney, no idea why they knocked it back tbh, probably had a load of cars in to work on and had messed up booking me in, they had to give me one of the salesmanship new demo cars as a courtesy car, so they probably wanted it back before end of business aswell. Just know I won't be using them again.

I certainly hope not Andy, you buy turbos like I buy remaps!
I think I'll be wary of going back to stage 2+ again though

I remember back along DJHorice said he new quite alot of guys who had ko4 stage 2+ cars go this way, he reckoned at the time that theres going to be alot of cars with these issues in the future.  He sold his stage 2+ cupra, and is now driving a stock cupra instead iirc for that reason, i think theres been a few issues like tjis in south africa and greece. 

I think stage 2 is the way to go.  320hp is easily enough for a fwd

I'd be wondering how on earth the car made 1.8 bar of boost without going into limp myself

I think you might be right. Bearing in mind I lived in africa for a few years, Its no wonder they go bang bearing in mind how hot it gets over there!
I think if I can get it all sorted, I might sell or just stick with stage 2, although I dont know if Ben will do another map for me
I spoke to a lad at work, and a mate of his had the same trouble when he took his car to the same dealer to get something sorted, they mustnt like touching modded cars full stop, must have had their fingers burned in the past or something?

[Andy]

Your turbo will only need it replacing this time i reckon..I reckon you should stick to stage 2 then hopefully both ours cars will be trouble free when they are sorted out

Did you ask them what would happen if their diagnosis was incorrect and the problem still occurs after the new turbo? after all, you are spending £1000+ and if their diagnosis is wrong and they incorrectly replace parts that were not required you will be out of pocket.  I would definitely ask this question.

Also ask for a reciept from VW for the new turbo and your old turbo back, I have seen lots of reconditioned turbos on cars that were supposed to be 'brand new' after having turbo changes at a main dealer.

You also already have a stg2 that makes 320hp, so no need to buy any more maps (even though you like buying maps, what is it 20+ now?)

[heavyd]

I will be asking this Dave But to be honest, I've used 0.5 litres of oil in 2 weeks, and it isnt dripping on the floor, and the blue cloud only comes out when the engine is hot, and I've been coasting for a while
I will ask for old turbo back, as it may be ok for someone to hybridise
I phoned lots of places to try and get mine reconditioned, but they all said they couldnt do it, including turbo technics, and that place you told me about at wynard park. I was a bit sceptical about the price they quoted, as it works out cheaper than the price it would have cost me to get it done by yourself Dave.

I havent had a single fault code on for months?

[vRSAlex]

Do you mind me asking how much vw are charging and what they are including?  I would like to see how I would compare.

I will do once it's been done
I would have driven down to yourselves, but when I phoned up, the two month wait to get my car in put me off 

[heavyd]

Oh well..................
Ended up paying £1370 altogether, inc all seals, and a £70 oil pipe(06F145778G). When I asked for my old turbo back, they then told me it was an exchange turbo so I couldnt have it back. I had a look at it and there was some oil coming out of it, and they was a bit of play in the shaft aswell.
I did a 20 mile trip, and still getting random plumes of blue smoke, and tailgate being covered in black dots again. So headed back to the dealers and they said everything was caked in oil, and I need to do at least 200 miles before it clears up
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but I find it highly unlikely that it will, I seem to have a distinct feeling I've just wasted £1370 on a second hand turbo that I didnt even need
On another note, I test drove a leon cupra r today, very nice, even the standard exhaust sounds better than my milltek, unfortunately was only offered £9500 for my heap of cr@p so I guess I wont be buying it

[Andy]

i thought they would keep your turbo as its exchange--i mine smoked at first as it had oil still il-n the system but it cleared up and was fine

Ouch on that bill!

Hope it all works out ok in the end.
