In the process of trying to fix a miss fire, I am at the dealership last night looking at the new crate motor. I looked over the turbo. Looking at the portion that has the 3 bolt flange the cast in divider is cracked. According to GM Tech this is normal since it is on the exhaust side. However my issue is the part obviously would not be acceptable at the engine plant so why would it be okay at this point? Note this is the 11th time it has been in for service for an engine miss fire. Would you want to replace anything that looked damaged let alone something that is????

My 2 cents. This dealership doesn't know what they are doing. Recommend taking it to a different dealership.

 

that maybe but to there defense GM Tech authorizes all the repairs/parts. so the imediate lack of ability/common sense lies there to me.

 

True, and that may be. But I know there are better dealerships than that in MI.

 

Mine is at the dealership now cus it was blowin blue smoke like crazy and the guy told me i have a horrible misfire cus of a bad injector and thats why im smokin blue. He said that that cylinder is running lean and causing it to burn oil i was like WTF?!?! Someone is clueless. At least ill get a new injector even though i had no CEL but i still dont know why im smoking blue. The turbo is covered in oil asnd theres oil on the charge pipe and dude tried telling me that its gas hahahahha. Some people are really dumb

 

I don't see why anyone should be expected to accept a broken part because some guy with a fancy title for a job description says it's "normal" ........ Tell him to put it on his car. I'd say it's time to go over his head and file some complaints.

 

Already have a case number with GM and tagged with a Lemon Law case. So even with that they are dragging to fix things right.

 

All the more reason to go to a different dealership.

 

are we talking about the divider that inside of the exhaust port? if so I have replaced lots of turbos on the dodge products in the 80's and 90's if it was a new turbo the divider was not cracked but if it was a remanufactered unit they where all cracked right out of the box. I was told by the factory that it was a normal for a used turbo to crack in the divider and wouldn't hurt the life or operation of the unit. I do agree that it is somthing that looks like a problem but as far as I could remember they all cracked there.

 

all these blown and cracked turbos are starting to get me concerned....
