The thing that's got me stumped is I can look on ebay for various reconditoned tubos and they state they are for the F9Q engine which is correct, but are the turbos interchangeable between the 102 and 115 bhp engine ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1410225272...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The 115bhp engine is not an F9Q its a D4192T3. The turbos for these engines are completely different. The one for the 102bhp is a bog standard turbo whereas on the 115bhp is a variable vane set up.

I very much doubt they are compatible as they control boost in very different ways and obviously the 115bhp one produces more boost. I believe there may be differences in intercoolers etc on the engine and also the ECU maps would be different as well.

OK, looked at the eBay ones and decided no, but company her in UK, catsandcarbs.co.uk. they say they have a turbo to fit, £260+VAT, 2 year labour warranty and unlimted milage. Anyone actually used them ? Next qustion, is it worth doing, or just get another car ?

Assuming that this is the price for the part only what is the "2 year labour warranty"? What labour are they providing a warranty on? If it's a fitted price and they're giving 2 years warranty on the part and labour for that price I'd bite their hand off! (as long as they're really local so you have a chance of getting them to honour the warranty if the turbo fails)

the labour warranty is if for some reason the turbo fails they'll pay for the labour to sort out the damage and fitting of a new one. unfortunately they're not local enough, but it's guranteed for 2 years, but we know what it's like when come to claim.

The cynic in me thinks that they will always find a way to avoid paying out labour costs which could well be in excess of the cost of the unit they're selling. However, I don't know the company, and if you do your research and decided that you trust them then maybe they're worth a punt.

Another supplier to take a look at is NKK Turbo's in Newark, I don't have any personal experience of them but they are fairly local to me and I have heard good things about them anecdotally.

I got a CHRA cartridge from them, way cheaper than a recon turbo. Got about 8k miles on they're cartridge so far, like they said on the Web page they are using custom made oil seals to reduce the oil usage(seeping around the shaft/seals into a intercooler/engine) Seems that it actually works as I don't need to top up the oil between the oil changes.(car has done 207k miles) The only thing I don't like is they're non existent email reading capabilities.... I sent them 2 emails about 8 months ago... still no reply... at least they are answering phone calls... Cartridge was sorted after all.

Hi! I am a newcomer here. I can't see any pictures in it. Do I do something wrong? I have S40 2002 2.0 SE with probably the same problem

Welcome to the forum. No, you are not doing anything wrong. The photos were most probably hosted by Photobucket, they changed the rules a while ago and now the images cannot be accessed. Makes the old threads pretty much useless.
