Not Happy this is absolutly ridiculas

well after finding that there was a bolt missing off the turbo that was causeing the whislt noise and no gasket on the oil drian to the sump off the bottom of the turbo i fixed all that.

looked under there yesterday and there was still oil running down the oil return from the turbo to the sump.
i looked closely at it, and can see that there are 2 bolts that are missing from the back of the turbo.
the only way to get to it is pull the mainfold off ans pull the turbo and dump pipe out, it going in tomorrow to get done, under my supervision.

Hey Mud that sucks are you going back to the same place who did the initial work and is everything else sorted now?

yeah i know, but after some friendly talks we have come to an agreement that doesnt involve lawers etc. i really get along with the manager so i didnt want to loose that friendship over something the mechanic did, so come to an agreement,
when i showed him the list of stuff, the manager took sides with me
but its not looking good for the guy who did the work on the car the manger has the list and is going to have a chat with him after the job is done with my jeep.
the manager agrees that it was very poor workmanship done and is now thinking what else the mechanic may have been doing to other vechiles?

hopefull this will be the last time,

oh and to top it all off with problems my AC compressor shit itself

Hi guys,

Why is it when I read all these forum, that I get the distinct impression that Oz mechanics hate anything not made in Japan?

VM have been building engines for a LONG time.

There are PLENTY of issues here in NZ with Toyota and Mitsubishi engines (diesels & petrols) but nobody bleats about them and they are bigger failures than anything on the non rice-burning stuff.

We don't have the issues generally with mechanics buggering up Vm and other non Jap engines. Some don't like 'em but they are just the usual suspects that have ugly Hilux utes with no bumpers and 40" wheels and think they are real men.

Interesting....

It's not the fault of the engine. It's always the neglecting human (owner/mechanic or both...).
