While at high altitude going thru steep terain three weeks ago my turbo broke into two pieces. The dealership just replaced it under warranty, yes it took three weeks! They told me car was ready when I got there the mechanic and service mgr could not figure why the car had HUGE amounts of black smoke and reduced power. I suggested the MAF and was right. After replacing the MAF my baby was back! I only went 65 miles and at 40 mph shifting down to pass someone the car goes into limp mode then a block later huge clouds of bluish white smoke and the car dies. I am sure this is another turbo failure.
The question is shouldn't they have replaced the oil lines to the turbo? They say they "drained them good" not replaced them.
Is there a TSB stating to replace them? Anything else I should look at that they might have done wrong to cause this?
Worse part they can't look at it for at least a week! I don't know how to come to tdifest without it! Maybe I can trailer it behind my Land Rover?
