Whats the paint code... Is it M7 or GR.

Did it die from lack of oil. Was the oil line blocked. Did they remove the filter in the turbo line If this wasn't checked your new turbo won't last a week. You need to call and ask some questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark74 Member 53 Member For: 6y 30d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/04/18 02:06 AM Author Share Posted 18/04/18 02:06 AM Damn! You're scaring me lol. When I took it in, they said it was the core...and had noisy bearings.. they did a new oil fees pipe also and gasket manifold and gasket set...Bill told me to always make sure when I get it serviced to check the oil line, but he did say the job worked out great and it was all good...if that means anything.. Oh its Dark grey in Colour...It was advertised as petroleum grey, but Im damned if I know the paint codes...Its like a gunmetal metallic? Ill check the paint code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not , you better get that sort immediately.. Colour will be M7 "mercury silver" most likely.. Do you have the log books..
