Thread: FL2 - Reduced Engine Performance...

Hey DJH, did you have any oil seepage from around the turbo inlet?

I've got this again at the moment after another austral "fix" just getting myself worried now as I only have about a month left of warranty

I'm not entirely sure. At one service (one that wasn't done by the dealer) the mechanic did find oil on the top of the bash plate which he thought was coming from the pipe between the turbo and the inter cooler.

I got Southside LR to check it at the next service but they weren't concerned. Maybe they should have been...

Are you considering an extended warranty?

that it the turbo noise, but its not the right noise, it should be one sharp wisle,, not a flutter,,

most rice boys pay big money for that noise

They've fixed the flutter noise but its still whines quite badly.

In the cabin it sounds like a police car is coming up behind you.

I wasn't.....

You know I am really jack of the couldn't care less attitude with anything they consider not to be a big deal, the number of times I have been to those brisbane dealers just to take it back time and time again to have something simple done, then you get the all fixed smile at the end while the problem appears again almost straight away.

and who do you have to sleep with to get a call back about anything?

Well i guess I had better report it again and if it does go bang fingers crossed they may cover it out of warranty.

I think you are lucky that there is something clearly wrong or you may have got the timeless "they all do that".
