Thought I would give the old girl a bit of a service this morning usual plugs out etc just taking the plug cover off and tinkle one of the bolts straight down inside the turbo input :splat: , couldn`t even see the thing and no magnet handy :slap: had to cut up and modify an old screwdriver with magnetic head with a piece of string to get the thing out :rolleyes: . Memo to self must remember to put a rag over the intake pipe next time :slap:
Ooops! :slap:
At least you noticed at the time!!! :) Alastair
Lucky , Think of the mess that would have made..! :slap:
yes and not just to the car think the underpants would have got it aswell as the wallet :slap: lucky the hearing still works and the radio wasn`t loud at the time :D
the turbo went on my bro's Nissan 200, chunks out of the impella & thick grooves inside the housing they suspect was caused by a nut or bolt :slap:
Could have been very nasty
Lucky Lucky Lucky! Glad you recovered it!! That would have been one very expensive bolt!
lots of cursing at the time and relief when it finally dropped into my hand thought for a while it was turbo off job
