I had a phonecall from vw customer services about how my recent visit to the dealers went, I replied truthfully about what they had done, and since then I have only been able to deal with the manager and head technician, dont know if they are linked though :stupid:
All the diagnosis they have been doing is alledgedly been from Vw, as that is why they took photos and had to email them off and been waiting for replies from VW with which way to proceed.
I think I'll be getting my car back from them when its put back together and go elsewhere, then go through the complaints procedure :popcornsoda:

Dom, did you ask what would happen in the case of incorrect diagnosis when it went in for the turbo?

I would demand your old turbo back, its yours and they have no right to keep it. Get it checked by a turbo specialist.

I went to the dealers, car has been there 9 days now :popcornsoda:
latest update is they are blaming the mods that have been done to the car

What a load of bull, i'm running stage 3 ( since 50k) on mine which is equivalent to stage 2+ with all the mods and i have 101k and the engine runs like new.

Ive bought a fair few new turbos from the dealers and they have never asked for the old unit back on exchange. Personally, after looking at your car when changing the DP I am not convinced the 'new'  turbo was new, but thats another story.

I know what you're saying, ie the nuts looking like they weren't even taken off and the downpipe nuts that were still rusted on! Any chance of uploading those photos dave, or emailing me them please?
It's trying to argue that fact, which I think would be extremely difficult. Still haven't got car back, I've raised concern with vw customer services. Part number for the turbo ended in x, guessing exchange. Part number was 06f145702cx

Got the car back from the dealers yesterday, charged me another £389......
I thought I'd check the oil level today when I finished work, they'd given it back to me with it well under the min level on teh dipstick.
Then pulled out of work and the car went into limp mode stuck at 50mph on the way home, plugged my vcds in to find this fault.

000564 - Boost Pressure Regulation: Limit Exceeded (Overboost Condition)
               P0234 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded
         
I wiped the fault off accidentally, and the car is now back to normal again :stupid:

what did you actually get for your £389?

at least in the old days people wore masks and told you they were about to rob you.
