You won't have any problems sending that one back as the exchange unit

Thanks kida.

it matters aslong as the new one fitted is the one i sent them. and if the exchange is good to refurb. are surface machined etc ?

Quite a lot of recon cores go in the scrap, some companies only ask for them back to remove them from circulation and to stop them getting into the hands of competitors. Others that do use the return cores are happy if they can salvage anything from them. I would only worry about it if they refuse it as a return.

Chances are he has had a job getting the elbow nuts to play ball getting the old one off and ended up cutting yours off...replaced 3 of the same turbo myself last year so i know how it can turn bad with them.

thats is my worry if they say its no good and send it back.

I am just paranoid now i think, there supposed to be specialist in Vivaro`s. But they send the van back and forget to reconnect indicator wiring up, return with oil leak on turbo and wrong turbo given back ans ay it sis the one off the van.
Reason why it makes me wonder if they have fitted another turbo and not one i gave them.

to much wrong, but i get you wen you say `does it matter` aslong as its fixed properly and i get my exchange done with the turbo supplier then no. just wont go there again or send folk there.

yes maybe but why ******** me. i understand possible complications with these things but honesty works wonders. not calling me an idiot in certain ways.

What bit is missing? Both inlet and exhaust side of the turbo is there.

The angle put me off, couldn't work it out.


And it's so diddy.

This was found after a garage fitted a new’ engine to a Merc Sprinter. It ruined the turbo twice and intercooler. Bolts were missing from the manifolds and it all had to be steam cleaned. The pipe is actually 5he wrong one but they forced it in anyway. It should be that shape but shouldn’t include the kink!

 

[Keithmac]

That's a complete turbo, compressor housing / chra / turbine housing, it's even got the waste gate actuator still fitted. Doesn't get better than that really..

Just collect the motor and say your taking it else where as you don’t trust them

If they are a decent garage they will say feel free to take the motor to an independent workshop

If they kick up you have your answer

they took the van and returned yesterday. and it showed on return what people they are like. They curbed it enough to make the van bounce the curb. I know this as i seen them on my security cameras. i get notifications on my phone and looked to see it. i would download it here but this site wont let me. low life scum, just because i asked them to fix the leak and give my turbo back and invoice. scum bags.

There will have been thin metal gaskets on your turbo flanges so they won't have gone that rusty after a couple of days of exposure, I suspect it's not your original one. What you've got back does look perfectly ok as a core exchange though, they re-machine all surfaces anyway.

yep, wat peed me off was telling me it IS the one they removed and all turbos look like that aswell as the other they have. no reason but they ripped me off IMO and found my turbo wasnt wat they problem was and kept it. end of the day though, there loss as i was going to get them to fix the rest.

TBH I don't see any reason that could not be your turbo. Do you have any 'before' pics? The compressor should be easy to match to a photo.

so your saying a gasketed flange froma running engine would be that rusty?
i have stripped many engines and never seen such rust on a flange. even the two engines from y boat that are near 50 years old and not run for atleast 10 years.

Sure it's possible if the flange isn't flat it'll rust where any gap is. You still have shiny faces where it was clamped up.

Also look at the stud poking out. It's not rusted at the base where the stud would be in the housing hole. If all that rust was due to it being laying around off the vehicle then the whole face would be red rust, and the stud would be rusted along it's length.

I enjoy watching a grandad snail teach his grandson how to turbo
