nitro xr6 turbo Banned 185 Member For: 12y 5m 15d Gender: Male Location: perth wa Posted 14/11/12 10:46 PM Share Posted 14/11/12 10:46 PM get ford to stamp your book for the 15k, and buy a gen filter then take it to a different dealer and start fresh.my turbo leaks oil, not as much as this but more than I would like. it has been in 4 times under warrenty and all they do is tighten clamps. I then replaced the oil return line gasket and that stoped alot of the oil leak but not all, the rest comes from the main gasket thingo. I gave up on getting them to fix it and got them to do the timing cover and cylender head oil leaks instead.cheers, andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pippie81 Guests Posted 15/11/12 01:37 AM Share Posted 15/11/12 01:37 AM Is this provided to dealerships direct from ford? Once I have heard from them I will be asking them to place it all in writing so I know exactly why they are wanting to replace the turbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pippie81 Guests Posted 16/11/12 02:38 AM Share Posted 16/11/12 02:38 AM Called the dealer today after not hearing from them yesterday. Turns out they didn't do any tests on the Turbo and have just assumed given the oil leak that the Turbo is stuffed!!!???They keep on about the supposed modifications to the car, including the K & N air filter which I argued with them about as from discussions with a number of parts providers I cant understand how they can insist that I utilise Ford parts, just as they can't insist on servicing the vehicle at the dealership?After getting no where they advised that they would require the car for 2 days to fully check it and confirm their belief regarding modifications.Decided to call the dealer who serviced the car since new, who has been nothing but helpful. He does not believe that the car has been modified, thinks that there is another alternative to replacing the turbo and if the turbo does need to be replaced happy to recommend the replacement under warranty to the assesor from Ford.Can anyone else advise if they have had any issues with "after-market" ie not "Genuine" Ford parts in their cars? Down to something as simple as the air filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have modified your car in any way ford have the right to revoke your warranty. But they will not have an issue with just a k&n filter, it is NOT the place of the dealer to reject a warranty claim it is up to ford.The prior approval process for engine oil leaks is not needed in this case as the engine is not leaking it is the cooler/intake piping not sealing correctly therefor they have no reason not to cover this under warranty providing correct service history. Stop talking to them on the phone, take the car in and ask them to please fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
