Talked to them last night and they've run out of ideas...wtf man I should have just bought the tools, I could have come up with that after 1 day, then would've fixed it

Did you get my pxt? I think I still have your old number though..

[stinkinrich]

Ideas for what? Sealing the turbo against the fanimold?

what is it there actually "suppose" to be doing to your car mate? retro fit a turbo or summit?

[Anonymoose]

Change the turbo and gaskets, like for like...Check the brakes, flare the copper lines to brake hose connection bit and bleed them

[Jacko_162]

then why so long and the struggle for "ideas" doesn't seem right to me..

[Anonymoose]

Nor to me dude, I'm baffled that they spent all the time they did doing and redoing the same thing expecting different results...then they're saying they're doing that because I said I don't wanna spend lots of money on getting it done...NO I said I don't wanna pay for days of bleeding brakes and him telling me 'it's not working' with no plan or idea whats wrong every time I talk to him, I will pay to fault find and fix the fuckers but they haven't even managed that.

[stinkinrich]

With the proper brake flaring tool its a 30 min job to do those lines we couldnt do!

Oh man... sucks about the car.

And no, didn't get it, you likely still have the old one... got a new one since last week, will send it to you later via PM... tho I don't think my high-tech super-phone supports pxts at all.


May be buying a daily in a few weeks. Was originally planned for next year, to buy something 'good' with LPG, but since my new job is only ~10 kms from me, I don't really need the LPG after all... and a friend just offered me his old daily for a few hundred bucks.

That looks ace Mex, you sold the RS's?

[stinkinrich]

Lets play a game Bas..

Is it German?

[Dr.AK]

Kind of. It's from the european division of an american maker. It's from 1992, it's got RWD, a 4-banger with ~120hp and it's even TÜVed until august next year.

I'll be looking at it later today to see if it is as good as promised. If it is, I'll likely take this.
