Let me guess, you have a Dodge Neon?? They are notorious for crappingout after the warranty expires.
I am so sorry to hear that girl. :(

Neon + turbo = hilarious
You are correct though.

i trust NO MECHANIC!!!!!!

well he is my bud otherwise I agree. he could have fixed it himself and charged me a fortune - instead he said to go to the dealership b/c he feels they should cover this. we'll see......

*update*

well they are trying to work with me. The cost of the turbo is $1800 - even though warantee has expired, they are willing to give me warantee cost of $1100 and suck up 50% - so I would have to pay $550. Nowhere near the abticipated $2,000-$3,000. phew sometimes things have a not so bad outcome.....

550.00 Well that's a lot better. I also have a saab. It's a little older. I was lucky enough to find an independant saab mechanic who I trust. I have been going there for 7 years. They are still not cheap, but a lot less than the actual saab dealership.

they just told me it should be over $2,000.00. I am doomed.

They say it is usually a result of the wrong type of oil being put in for oil changes. That a turbo compatible oil should be used and if it's not...and regular oil is used...well this is what happens. I hate going to the dealership b/c they overcharge and I am there FOREVER. Little did I know that having my oil changed at Mobil would cost me $2 grand.

:(

:eek:
I will think good thoughts for you! I don't even know what a turbo is. I'm so sorry
that is bogus.
