Good Independant Mechanic Please, Non Scooby.

[scoobypaul]

my mate has got a pretty serious sounding problem with a seat alhambra 1.9 tdi (yep, it's a rocket ) he's being told he's got a blown turbo, but he's after a really non biased diagnosis of the problem as we're both not sure if the garage is totally on the level.

if you know next to nowt about cars (like me) you'll know how much an honest opinion is appreciated, so does anyone know of any local people or garages that might be able to help? just after someone who knows what they're looking at to see if there's another issue that might be causing the turbo problem.

cheers,

Paul

We deal with all turbo cars, petrol and diesel, and can offer you some advice, or take a look at it if needed.

Depending on what exactly it is doing - smoking/no boost etc, we have seen Galaxy's/Sharan's (the same vehicle!), with silly things like split boost pipes, but without seeing it could be any number of things.

that's not a good thing to hear it is what my mate has been hearing though, i thought these things would be bullet proof.

thanks 20, that was the guy i was trying to think of, does he have contact details or is it best to PM him on here?

Kentperformance, good to hear you know about these just googled your site, might well pop down today.
