SSpeed Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 ^^ Where does the lost oil fit in to that scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyRock Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Its the fact that the bearing material that was in the turbo is now being pumped around the engine and it will KILL your main bearings. This means if you hear the turbo bouncing around- can you guess where that bearing material is? And while you think about it- its being pumped into your bearings and the metal shavings are shaving your main bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulFWMotorsports Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Please listen to those above...pay the extra money to have the pan pulled and inspected. If your pan looks like the one pictured below, you'll need an engine overhaul. http://dbtuned.com/pics/Engine%20Failures/oil%20pan.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunt999 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Finally got word back. Def some small shards in the oil. So now the series of removal of parts begins. Flush engine and replace turbo, etc. The tech fears the block could be cracked. I doubt I will do a complete overhaul. I almost traded this car in for a brand new F-150 few months ago before any problems started. I wish I would have now! Don't want to buy a new turbo if I might trade it in. Any recommended places to look? This process is going too slow for comfort, but I'm barely getting charged anything. Above all, I'll still have an electrical problem when it's all said and done. Grr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunt999 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sorry guys, got side tracked with life. Changed turbo and flushed out the oil\debris. Ended up trading the car in for a truck. Def have more use for it. Got the old core still if anyone wants to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDRVSLO Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This is a total asshat move.......you are leaving the next buyer with a broken car in a month.......or a week.....or a few days. Just pathetic. Take this how you want and be offended but everyone in here gave you the warnings based on prior experiences.....and all you did was dump your problem on somebody else.

As someone on the other side of this I gotta agree with IDRV. The dealer you traded it to is just going to bandage it up to get it off the lot. Then a couple days, weeks or a month down the road the new owner is gonna be PISSED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be sure if this was the real cause, but mime took about 3 months to break -- long enough to be outside the dealer's warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It just leads us to buy built motors and upgrade intercooler, fuel, and turbo... Oh, I feel my days are limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
