Post subject:  Getting a new turbo

CRD lost power on Monday. Hooked it up to my laptop scanner, and had low boost pressure code. Pulled the turbo to intercooler hose off and it was cracked, and swimming in oil. Took it to the dealer they say the seals are bad in the turbo, and going to replace with a new one.

Glad I still have 20k in the power train warranty

wonder if I'll have to pay for new boost hoses ?

you could if you REALLY needed a temp solution, there are better metal long term solutions, but the samco route should be the best route for us all.
