Your not exactly aiming for longevity are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBXRT Banned 643 Member For: 13y 5m 1d Gender: Male Posted 25/10/11 11:17 PM Author Share Posted 25/10/11 11:17 PM (edited) OK lads - thanks for your help previously. Oil line filter was removed and not blocked - so its either blocked in the line or my turbo has simply succumbed to a pretty hard life and 175,000ks (most likely).After listening to the turbo, mechanics reckon it would not be cost-efficient to rebuild as its completely stuffed - so I've tracked down a Garrett 3540 turbo from a wrecker for $700 with 3 mth warranty "from an engine already sold, turbo all that's left" - in the pictures he admits its "dirty" (it looks almost black?) but "nothing to worry about" as no shaft play or bearing noise from a car with 123,000ks.What do you think? Is the dirtyness an issue and steer clear, or is that just part and parcel of wrecking yards??? (who I don't really trust)Thanks for your advice.

Otherwise if you fixed it and tld her then she will bring it back whenever theres a problem and say hey you *beep* now fix the brakes, suspension blah blah blah...Fck her I say as she has obviously screwed you!!!Do I sound Bitter much, lol. Seen a great mate pay off his ex missus car without any legal saying that he had to! Isn't that right Ray you soft c0ck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like a nice bloke or she has you by the balls. Throw the keys at her and say it's yours and all the problems that come with it lol Edited 26/10/11 09:02 PM by helbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
