Went to pick my car up on friday afternoon and was told I couldn't have it because the turbo was faulty from factory, I took it for a drive not believeing the dealer and could hear a high pitch whistle coming from the engine when it came on boost, I was very upset, has anyone ha this promblem??????????????????????

Don't be upset. At least they've found a fault(is a whistling turbo a fault?? NUP) and are [I'm assuming] fixing/replacing it. Sometimes its a real job convincing service managers theres a problem, like they don't believe or want want to believe you. On the other hand, maybe one of the boys at your dealer wants a fully sick garret turbo for his gemini, so they have told you its faulty so they can claim another one under warranty. Just an early morning thought.

P.S. Me being the quick thinker that I am, I just realised Friday is before the weekend and not having your T on the weekend would suck. Be upset, I would be. Hope they sort it out soon for ya.

Did they offer you a loaner tur???

yeah got a loan car au fairmont, the new turbo was delivered today by the ford engineer personnally I pick up the beast tommorrow morning cant wait.

Tur,

Did you prompt them to check out the whistling? and did you notice any performance degradation?

Mine seems to have just started whistling (not particularly loud or intrusive) but I thought that might just be coz it was loosening up!

Be interesting to hear if it still whistles when you get it back

Just an early morning thought.

:o You need to get more sleep Rob... :sleepgrey:

tur,

Sorry to hear about the delay on getting your new beast. Not the best way to start a new relationship.

So far as the whistling is concerned, was there any chance you could name the tune?
