Hi Folks, hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem...
I've just had the manifold replaced under warrenty. When I left the garage I noticed a considerable drop in boost. It felt like the turbo wasn't kicking in when it should. Rang the garage straight away and told them the problem. They of course denied any wrong-doing, but agreed to have a look at it. Dropped the car back to them yesterday evening armed with information after searching posts here for problems after manifold change (induction hoses not connected properly, turbo actuator not greased, etc...).
Well, they are after ringing me to say there is a problem with a control valve for the turbo (I should have got a better description than this sorry). They told me there is two controls valves, one at the front and one at the back of the engine, the back one near the manifold is gone. To confirm it, they swapped the front one and it worked at the back. The cost €163 + VAT!! I definitely did not have the problem before dropping the car in for the manifold replacement and tried arguing this point on the phone. They are taking no responsibility and said it was just coincidence! I am not too happy about this.
I don't really believe in coincidences. Can anyone shed some more light on what valve has gone or how this can happen? The more info I have, the more I might be able to argue my case with them. Thanks in advance.
