I'm with ExDohc and company on this one. You took a chance, it didn't pay off, how can the dealer be at fault?

You should've taken it in the first place to a more 'lenient' dealer.

That said, i feel your pain man. Write it off to expensive 'school fees'. What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger :wink:

guys remember i did not ask them to fix anything for me i just wanted to know if it was safe for me to drive the car for a few more days b4 i had it fixed elsewhere- and then they go report it
i do know its my fauly, i admit i took the risk
yes this thread may b useless, but just a warning to those who have mods dont make the same mistake i did - be patient, take it to dealership u know, even if its just a question u wanna ask
but there are sum dealers out there that will go just that extra mile, to help u out not to get u into kak
but any way -
my car is making progress
thanks to sum1 who goes waaaaaaay out to help a brother out - we all know who he is
& aso thanks to sum1 from frc, who ive never met but we all know him as well
once im 100 % sure about the verdict i will let u all know
just wanna say thanks guy's, i will never forget what u both are doing for me!

$hit, do you run it down for a few minutes after caining it? Sure is strange on such low kms. There seem to be quite a few PGTis with failing turbos...

always bru
I idle it 30 sec in mornings, drive her under 2000 rpm till its at optimal operating temp
always 2min idle before i switch her off, i hardly give it stick...
beats me as to why it happend
guess the turbo & clutch were just defective from the factory
