ref my earlier posting re "we think our turbo has bust"
Well the turbo is fine.
The problem is that we should have had notification that there had been a recall on the engine in 2012 and the problem we have now is that it appears, from what I could make out from the mechanic at our Citroen garage, is that an injector has dropped and punctured a hole in a piston. Short story is . . . . The engine is bust and needs replacing.
We are, via the main dealer, now in negotiation with Citroen to get some compensation. One of the main draw backs is that we use a friend who is a mechanic at another garage to do our servicing privately and Citroen will not recognise this as following their maintenance schedule even though it has been carried out within the specified time scale.
So a hard lesson learnt today. . . . . . . Saving a few pounds by not using a main dealer for servicing is likely to cost us around 11000€
Anyway, if anybody has a pre 2012 Citroen Jumper/Relay engine in their vehicle, or a Ford Puma it might be worth while checking it has had the 2012 recall work carried out
