"Ever have a mechanic get the diagnosis wrong?" My mechanic can be a real bone head at times. Replaced the computer on a Durango when it was stuck in limp mode, only had 2nd & 3rd gear. Turns out that the transmission wasn't getting positive voltage, the wire was broken near the fuse / relay box. Ran a jumper wire to it and fixed the issue. I'm the mechanic, I'm the bone head. But, lesson learned. Now it's test and confirm for certainty every single time before replacement. VT247

[@wernerdanler2742]

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one out there. Lol

[@Chriswales]

A garage replaced an alternator because the battery wasn't charging. They had the car for over a week saying there were other problems that they didn't bill me for. Then my ABS went out, I traced it back to fuse box on top of the battery which the garage had made a temporary fix on. Turned out that was real reason the car wasn't charging. It was a 15 minute job to replace the fuse box which I did myself. Should've cost me under a hundred not the 500 I had to pay for a new alternator.

Its not always as easy. especially on cars with intermittant issues. ive had lots of cases in which there were multiple parts that could be the cause of (by example) blowing fuses from time to time or something like that, and after ripping half the car apart still no definitive answer to whats causing certain circuits to fail like once a week when driving..

Also the manifold itself is slightly different. kind of difficult to be sure because he goes from one to the other and the camera angle is slightly different but I'm pretty certain that the exhaust runners are slightly different.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@kens97sto171 they are. They are slightly cocked more than the previous version. I was curious if it was easier to put together.

[@kens97sto171]

@@thereissomecoolstuff Glad someone else saw it too. kept kind of looking at it and thinking to myself it looked different but with the camera constantly moving it wasn't easy to be sure. Since that exhaust turbine side had been altered with the bushing. That's all one piece with the exhaust manifold. So I'm guessing it's just a completely different or newly designed part. still boggles my mind that you could have a turbo failure at 100k. It's one of the reasons to stay away from German built stuff. Love the way they drive and look but mechanically they're a pain in the ass to work on and they break way too often.

[@andrewbryl]

I’ve always been nervous to buy an older car with a turbo for reasons like this. I know that sounds dumb but naturally aspirated engines are easier to diagnose most of the time.

[@HarryTipperful]

Yes and no (coming from someone who's first car was an old 900 turbo). There are definitely less components in an N/A engine, however turbo's tend to have reasonably unique symptoms so they don't add too much guesswork. Additionally, if you get a VW/Audi car from the mid 2000's and newer (which I know from owning an '07 currently), you have the ability to plug your phone into the car get as much live diagnostics as you could ever want. There's no guesswork when you can pull up live data of the thermostat gate open %, camshaft angles, fan speed, etc.

[@andrewbryl]

HarryTipperful all valid points. I keep looking at Cayenne Turbos from 2008 and up and feel nervous with 100k with no turbo issues.

[@HarryTipperful]

@@andrewbryl the Porsche 957 turbo uses a Mitsubishi M601 which is much more robust than the Borg-Warner KO3 used in VWs and Audi's (among other brands). They're surprisingly rock solid. The main issues rise from their plastic coolant pipes that typically get replaced with metal versions (at 100k+ this ha typically been done already) and drive shaft bearing failures. Hoovies Garage has a few videos on his (if you're a fan of this channel, odds are that you're familiar with the Car Wizards most regular customer).

[@rs-flamingo]

As a GTI owner, I guessed it was a bad turbo. :D Great advice about ruling out all the cheap diagnoses before jumping straight to the expensive fix.

[@LMacNeill]

I'm glad to see that you work on older cars like that '64 Impala. I had a '68 Ford Galaxie that I would normally have done all the work on, but I had a problem that I could *not* figure out, and I had to take it to *five* different shops before I found someone willing to work on it. Most modern mechanics won't touch a car if they can't plug in their $5,000 scan tool and have it tell them what's going on. They've not been trained how to *think* about a problem, they've only been trained to throw parts at it based on computer codes. We need more mechanics like you in the world.

[@modernlooks7041]

[@rex_s80]

I have a family member with a 2011 2.0T Tiguan that feels like it has significant post lag till 2500-2700rpm and then kicks in so hard that even if you set off in 2nd gear, it spins the tires like crazy but then feels like boost falls off after 4500-5000rpm. Is this a diverted valve issue or possibly a cracked turbo housing? It doesn’t sound like it has a leak. It does have a rattle when you let off (it seems like any time you have gained any boost and it needs to release it so could it be wastegate like on this Audi?). I’ve been trying to figure it out but can’t get a definite answer. Also it’s leaking oil for the third time not from a different spot (looks like the back of the engine this time so I’m guessing it could be the turbo, it’s at 100k miles)

Not really, modern turbo engines make peak torque down low and spool quickly. It's not like 30 years ago when a 4 cylinder couldn't handle a lot of power. Today we have V8s making 700hp when 300hp was a lot back then.
