Its a shame that the turbo has seized, but I have sold a lot of car parts in good faith to guys on this forum, if someone came back over a year later with a grievance about a mechanical part, I don't know how much responsibility I would want to take for it.

If you bought it at the wreckers they would most likely tell you to tell your story walking.

If the seller was still able to contact the guy who reconditioned it, he might offer to have a look at it for you free of charge, but you would be counting on the guys good nature as used high performance car parts dont have long warranties.

If the oil to the turbo wasn't working right, it could have seized even after just two runnings?

i find its a level of trust is a big factor on any forum,
its not only the money thats a worrie sending off its the parts you receiving if there any good or not,...

i havent come across any problem as yet with any member,
but it only take one to stuff it for others

as for your turbo and been over a year ago you got it.......goodluck

thats the worst thing about buying second hand turbos, you don't know what abuse has been dished out to them,you could literally buy 10 second hand turbos and not get a decent one in the bunch. Best thing to do is get one reco'ed so you know you've got a half decent one, so you know you've got one that will last you a fair while.

ok i went thru my messages and i sent him a pm. highly doubt im gonna get a response. it was about 9 months ago when i got it

mmm that probably rules out the fact it may have died from lack of use. All i can say is if the member is still an active member contact them explain the situation they may work something out.Though its a second hand turbo they generally have shaft play at minmum if unserviced and sold on so guess its a risk we take.

well i put it in started it up it barely ran tried to figure out y it wont run properly like it would pick up the revs i thort it was still my carby playing up but yeah id be lucky if i stated it up more than twice. didnt drive it and it didnt even make boost

How often have you used it since you fitted it ?

Yeah write first, talk it over, agree and if it goes backwards put a warning out for the benefit of other members.

i broght just the turbo of him
