got a call today from the garage regarding my scooby. it was sent in with a boost problem and i got a call today saying they had sourced the problem. one of the pistons has a hole in it. im looking at 600-700 quid for that to be replaced and my turbo has 6 months left in her. feeling gutted

I think you have missed a ZERO off the cost of rebuiling your engine.

£600-700 aslong as it hasn't marked the bore! Have they stripped the engine down or just done a comp test on it?

IN THE STICKS

What year is it ? was it standard or moded ?

Borich, you'll be extremely lucky to get away with 6/700 quid to replace a melted piston the damage is usually far higher when examined and short cuts usually mean that you do it all again in a very few weeks time.

Best of luck, but don't short cut.

well if its a tdo4 that you have to replace, these things are "cheap as chips" <said in a bargain hunt way>

was a 93wrx and had a few mods induction and de-cat exhaust system, scooby clinic are doing all the work and i should have her back monday morning. in a way having no scooby over my easter holidays has stopped me going out as much and mean im getting all my uni work done :-)
