Hello all. Needed some advice or what would you do if in this situation. I bought a TD05 High flow turbo second hand off Scoobynet in the new year. When i took it out of the parcel it was covered in dirt and normal under the bonnet gunk, it also still had the up pipe connceted to it. Well with one thing and another i started to clean and try to remove the up pipe about a week or so ago ready for new gaskets and to be fitted by Deano. After soaking the turbo in some degreaser for 24 hours and not having much luck getting the pipe off, i gave it to deano to see if he could have any joy over the weekend. Well on the tuesday i got a phone call saying the pipe was off but the bad news is the turbo has about 6 cracks in it and only fitt for the bin....
I've emailed the person i bought it from with the bad news asking for a refund as it is no good to be fitted. I got a reply the next day saying alone the lines of "it was ok when it came of my car not smoking bearngs where fine can't see how its fitt for the bin sorry can't refund the money".
What do i do?
shall i try fitting it and see what happens ( not to keen on this opition cracks can only get worse)
Bin it and cut my loses.
I did pay for it through paypal am i covered in any way for being sold faulty goods
Can i get it tested to see if it is ok under pressure.
Any advice would be helpful.
