While I didn't get diagnosis on my first turbo failure, my second one was caused by the pre-cat spitting piecesparts into the turbine. To my mind, putting a catatonic constipator upstream of a turbo...

Do they do anything to let vehicle owners know when they change these maintenance recommendations or do they just shout it on the wind and hope you hear? I know I get lots of paper and electronic...

Yup, now I must confess, I didn't always (usually, actually) let my engine idle for 30 seconds after driving at highway speeds (55 mph or greater).

I've been changing my oil every 2500-3000 miles using synthetic blend (mostly Pennzoil Gold) 5w-30. SOA asked for these records and pronounced them acceptable. They also said that was irrelevant...

I've talked to SOA at least half a dozen times. They're just referring to what the dealer says. I'll wait until I get the report from the garage that's doing the work on my car and then talk to them...

The "corrected" w/o will state that the main engine bearing failed and debris from the bearing caused the turbo to fail. This is a very significant issue since the turbo I had installed in July would...
