    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I'd be of the opinion that this would be fairly pointless.

    Once the engine is warm the turbo should be as good then as it will be in 1000 miles. Test it well now, then if anything goes wrong again there can be no questions asked

    Not here...but in the countless other threads where people have had a pop at you!

    Did they not do a full service on it when it was in?!

    That sound's like a cock and bull excuse IMO! They had the car for long enough! Makes it seem like they just didn't want to! Thought with something as big as replacing the turbo this early that they would do that automatically!

    If the turbo broke upor seized then it would have been very folish on their part to not change the oil and filter, or for that matter take down the sump and sheck for debris

    Yawn... I was in my brothers 07 GT 170 at the weekend... complete with all 41000 KM's - yeah 41thousand K's.. without issue :rolleyes:

    Nismo, glad you got sorted out and there was no further hassle with VW about sorting it - there customer service/attitude could be better for sure... definitely with Park Motors :mad:

    Now get back in it and enjoy!

    in addition there is the possibility that debris could have ended up in the cylinders and the exhaust system (ie cat)

    Jaysus there was some amount of typos in my last post...

    Anyway.. if the debris got into the cylinders it would have either caused a problem by now or will be grand.

    If has gone down into the exhaust the worst thing that will happen really is a possible rattle.

    I would personally like to have had the sump down in a car that young just to be on the safe side and the oil and filter changed again in 1000 miles
