Re: TURBO needed
This is just more proof to stay away from turbo diesels!
Wat van die turbo wat jy op Lobo wou sit - gaan hy nie werk nie?

Kobus is net jaloers omdat die petrolprys met 30c gestyg het en die dieselprys net met 2c...Herrie wrote:This is just more proof to stay away from turbo diesels!

Re: TURBO needed
Try Turbonetics in in the South? I had my Terrano's turbo serviced there when I bought the car as a precaution when I bought, as the car had skipped 5 services. They initially wanted to replace my housing but eventually said all was well. With housing the quote was around 7k. I THINK the name is Turbonetics...they just past South Gate.
Herrie - norty...my Terrano used to do 150 on the GPS without issues. All the way to 240k km with smiles. I think ChristoSlang is right
Saw my Terrano recently (after 4 years) still driving, no smoke nothing. Lucky owner.

Re: TURBO needed
FEEDBACK :
I took teh turbo to TURBOWORKS in Centurion.. they inspected it and returned with :"THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TURBO"
I pointed out that SAC diagnosed a crack in te wastegate - they showed my a number of other turbos with far worse cracks [ughmmm -- stadig nou Arries, ons praat van die TURBO hier...]
Though it was NOT neccesary Iopted to have the "kit" replaced - as the turbo was out and on teh bench anyway -- aftyer discount, cost R1700 [AS opposed to R12 500 that SAC quoted to replace...
I am disappointed in SAC on this one - and will tell them so - I have forever promoted them on this and all other forums where I participate -- one would think that they know by now when a turbo is shot - or not ???
Anyway -- there still is a power loss on the Terri - and that we have to find ASAP - somwhere it leaks air or compression
But as for turbo -- Thanx everyone - turbo is now fine. [was, all the time]
I have arranged with TurboWorks to have an "open day" where they will give us Nissan Owners a talk through on caring for our turbo's..
I will post a seperate thread on that one [na die begrafnis .. eers gaan dit bikki dol hier]

Bly om te hoor dit kon darem herstel word en dat die kostes nie te hoog was nie.
