Ok here's the deal the Turbo compressor is sticking they managed to clean andfree it but he says it's one of those it might be ok now but it might stick again
1 x turbo compressor = £1593.85p
1 x sealing gasket = £16.86p
Or a reconditioned one at £732.30
Today's bill
1 hour diagnostic + 1 hour stripping and cleaning compressor £192.00
Plus the handbrake they are fixing that next week.

That should be covered under warranty.
Annie did they call it anything else, did they mean the turbo, I've never heard anything being called a turbo compressor, if its the turbo they can be got a lot cheaper than that from turbo specialist installers, andy
They said a pump was not working because an outlet/exhaust gate was sticking he did babble on a bit but it was gobbledygook to me the upshot is he freed it and it's now working but for how long who knows so do I change it under the warranty or leave it and risk a week after the warranty expires it goes again lol.
Yeah they're quoting a turbo.
Yes that's the turbo,This is the estimateView attachment 55401

I guess they mean that the wastegate was sticking. It does not normally need a new turbo for that.
That's what he said wastegate the problem is he cannot find out what caused the sticking in the first place which is why he cannot guarantee it won't do it again it was one of those how long is a piece of string moments so hence my dilemma to change it on the guarantee or wait and see if the dealers sats get it done they'll pay I'll have it done if they say no I'll probably wait and see.
There is no consequential damage from it sticking again. I would make a point of driving it hard (full throttle up a long steep hill is ideal) to get it really hot and clean it out.
If that breaks it, you have the guaranteed.
Yes he says I have been driving around with no turbo that's why it did 0 to 60 in 10 mins and would not go up hills lol
