Well I was going to post on my WIP about how great my leon had been shipping surf boards to and from the beach whilst of holiday but sadly problems have started again within a few hours of being home!:(

Have a listen to the 2 vids below and let me know your thoughts please...




Sadly I have my money on the Turbo although it was only replaced 3 months ago and I have put just over 6k miles on it in that time all of which it was warmed up and cooled down properly.

Thoughts anyone please..........???

This sounds like my mates cupra r, he had it mapped and they took it out and tested it, and while road testing it, it started making this noise, they said that a turbine fin had come off the exhaust side.

would kick up a huge fuss if they didn't.

3 months and 6K for a brand new stock turbo to fail is just not on in my book mate...

Fingers crossed for you.

This is weird, Ive kicked my cars ass since it was new with no boter.
Did 50 laps of Knockhill today with a 101,000 mile engine and no problems.
Must be something wrong

Well 1st time failure I could put down to the maybe the previous owner not treating the car quite rightly, purely guess work here, and turning over engine after a rag which could potentially boil the turbo and the 2nd could just have been a crook turbo.......well I hope!

The only other thing I could have put it down to would have been the CC Map but this has been checked twice by CC/JBS and once by TTS so any abnormalities would have been picked by them hopefully.

The issue I now have bounding around my head is if they won't fix it I can't afford to pay for another new turbo as still struggling with the last 2k bill for it and my credit card won't take any more...........:headhurt:
