Difficult to understand? Me too. The incompetence and negligence is out of this world. And yes, the car runs fine now.
We were told when the engine was swollen with oil, it produced a knocking sound and was blowing smoke out the exhausts, hence it had done a big end bearing, and thought an injector got jammed open. But it took 8 weeks with legal intervention to finally discover that it was simply an overfill. How a service manager can look me in the eye, and tell me to my face the turbo had blown as well, without any observations is beyond me. IÂ’m just glad every conversation was recorded on legal advice. Bit of an eye opener folks.

I would have thought an overfill like that would have lead to a runaway engine. Things don't seem to add up here.

Well..astounding. Clearly can’t trust a single word they said including the latest explanation.
Get your car and never go back to them.
Running over full...if that is even what happened won’t have done anything any good.
But not worth dealing with them under any circumstances.
No dipstick.....equally astounding.
It appears that "blew up the engine" is a generic term used to cover the full range of mechanical problems.
It seems to be applied to everything from a loose sparkplug lead to a conrod through the side of the block.
I have often heard it used to describe some pretty minor issues. I'm not suggesting this one is minor. I'm just making a general observation.
