Oil smells of veg fumes, time to change?

[cwspellowe]

Depositing your oil all over the road at random intervals is standard XUD servicing, no?!?

Exactly. 12months, 6k miles, or whenever it all just randomly disappears. Says so in my service book.

Does it also say anything about having to replace the turbo every few weeks?

Yeah but it's like the GTi cambelt. Turns out you have to halve the original service interval, there was an amendment distributed to garages. For your benefit I have included the original transcript below:

To all concerned;

Recent developments have highlighted a major fault with retrofitted Garrett turbos that have been looked at by Chris Pellowe.

Any GT20 series that shows signs of chronic boost and amazeballsness should be changed at the earliest possible opportunity, preferably before it's driven just to be on the safe side.

Please replace like for like with a more expensive used turbo, then change it again with a brand new unit before the second has been driven.

This should ensure that all affected customers do not suffer any undesirable downtime or internet mockery.

Regards,

Mr Peugeot
