Was there enough oil in it Sam ? Have you been checking it as new Turbos/engine builds can use a little.

[chrisis200]

Gutted for you m8, hope it's cheap and easy to rectify. Shame things cant go right first time, but as we know from other members projects thats not going to happend & we can all hopefully learn a little more from these experiences so keep us posted ;)

[aztecbandit1]

Sorry to hear whats happened Sam, But i'm sure you'll have it back again very soon mate as it'll be in good hands as you know :D

[Anees]

Sorry to hear that! :( I am at Charlesworth on Saturday collecting some bits and peices so will have something to stare at!

I am hoping it is something simple to fix. :)

[LexusIS200Sam]

yeah was enough oil in it woz, i checked it and was about 1/4 full earlier in the week so phoned charlesworths to ask what oil they put in so could top it up... but then the day after it went down hill. I was really supprised to see it had used that much oil in 3weeks of use.....i dont use it during the day as ive got a work van and only really get to enjoy it at the weekend and some nights in the week.

Simon came and collected the car today, missing it already.

Mate, just seen this, I hope it gets sorted asap. May get to see your car as planning to be there next week.

[Mr Singh]

Ouch! Let me know when you get it running again, be cool to meet up and see how things have come on :)

[Anees]

Saw the car on Saturday - I hadn't realised how low it was!! :D Didn't know the front bumper had to come off BEFORE it could go on the ramp! :o

Good Luck and hopefully you get it sorted asap :)

[Steviewevie]

Any news as to what the problem is/was ?

[Dave-Ellen]

Turbo has been sent to garret for checking

[Dan_Harris]

Met up with sam on Sunday and the guy is a mess without his wheels :P, will have to sort a MK meet one sunday evening ;)

[LexusIS200Sam]

singh: Yeah mate defently, saw your bro out a few weeks back up the town was catching up with him for a bit.

dan: yeah of course ;)

Spoke to simon yesterday, still waiting on getting news back on the turbo. going to phone him before they close tonight for another update as im without wheels now and need it sorted asap. They sound very busy down there atm.

[chrisis200]

Is this still a poorly car or have I missed something? Hope all is well Sam, probably not the best weather for testing out the power anyway ;)

[aaronabbott]

[DJ Wozza]

Any idea yet what the cause of the problem was ?

[Gord]

Was the turbo ok sam?

No, turbo's dont like running with no oil :o

[Gord]

Any idea yet what the cause of the problem was ?

No oil :o

[Gord]

So was it the big end that went ?

Yes :o

[Steviewevie]

So was it a case of new turbo/new engine internals using a lot more oil than usual, and running out ?

With any new engine, and one running so much power, you should keep your eye/check your oil, not wait until the oil lights on :D

Agreed on checking oil but, Sam only had the car for a week or 2 before this problem came up. Sam did you notice any drips on your drive/where u park at work at all ? If there's no leaking from external then the engines burnt the oil itself which could be much worse i.e. Piston rings or Turbo oil seals where already shot when the turbo went on. But to be honest if your engines burning oil you should really notice due to large amounts of smoke out the rear LoL.

Hope its sorted soon for you mate.

[sparkystav]

He did notice the oil light coming on as he's said earlier in the thread, but thought it was oil too hot, not oil level as it prob was.
