Bunch of fucking pussies talking shit.

It likely just snapped off the exhaust wheel. Common issue on the IS20/38s. The only other big ticket issue might be the cat being fucked from all that oil going through it. It’s a 90%+ chance the engine is fine.

Trying to understand the concern, Alex has decades of experience with turbos cutting loose and the impact it causes to motors.

Him, along with other mechanics, asking questions and being willing to look at test results / evidence / pics, whatever may help lead to a quicker, less expensive outcome.

But, if the second opinion is not being asked, then understood.

 

[Aron]

is that official or your "butt dyno" assumption?

I personally checked things out once I got the car home. There are no noises coming from the bottom end indicating that the rotating assembly is damaged. I pulled the plugs and coils, and while I didn't do a compression test, there are no signs of lost compression in any cylinders while turning it over. Yes I changed the oil and thought I saw flakes, but did you not see the torn up compressor wheel?

If they're so concerned about the job, by all means they can pay for it. As the actual customer here, I am satisfied that he is doing the job properly. The turbo has to be swapped anyway, right? Everett is not some backwoods hack wrench that goes into a job blind, he is a VW tech. If I wasn't confident in his abilities, believe me my car wouldn't be there.

Maybe I worded my post wrong when I said he has to have the new turbo on to check the engine out. What he actually said was once the new turbo was on he would give the engine a full health check and go from there.

But as I said, compression is fine and there is no bottom end noise. Coolant is full and not contaminated, as was the oil (though I did burn off 2 quarts when the failure occurred).

And the outcome appears promising, though the vast majority of TCG threads involving automotive issues welcomes feedback / insight from those experienced or who work in the industry.

This thread didn’t state anything to the contrary, let alone it was for status updates only. Hence, the natural reaction would be for those experienced to ask questions / offer insight that lends to assisting you.

Am I inexperienced? Do I not know a thing or two myself? If I needed or wanted opinions (or in ths case criticism) I would have asked for it.

I read it as Alex offering assistance and not criticizing, which naturally occurs in most TCG auto issue threads.

Sounds like you are back on the road and in good shape which was the desired outcome everyone was looking for.

 

[Aron]

The questions could have been asked in a far less condescending manner. All this has done is shit up my thread.

So far the engine appears to be undamaged. He pulled the oil filter and oil pan and didn't find anything. He put a scope down the holes and found nothing.

Car is running and no noises. The noise I heard was probably just the turbo

DEEZUZ, blue-sun, and Blood on Blood can finally sleep soundly
