jeebowhite Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 your better off just buying a reconditioned unit, or take your chances on a breakers unit, as most of these come with a 90 day warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you intend keeping the car,bite the bullet and buy a new one.Replaced mine last year on my Focuc MK1 really pleased with the way it s running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I really wish I could afford a brand new one. £650. I've found one from a breaker going to pick it up at the weekend. Turbo and actuator £120 Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 With a 90 day warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 No mention of warranty but should I be getting one? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 In a word YES One of the conditions is you will probably have to change the oil,do it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You should be given some sort of a warranty with it, so I would ask if they will do a 90 day, unless they give you paperwork saying sold as seen, even then I think you still have some rights...

Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah il mention it. Can't see it being a problem the guy seems spot on. Thanks guys for the advice. I'm going to be fitting it myself. Would you have any tips. Or will it be difficult. :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think difficult is a fair comment to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 So it's probs going to be an absolute ball ache for an amateur then. Lol :-D Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would say this: Try fix it yourself, if it fails - get a mobile mechanic to come fit the new one for you! The worst you can do is not put it together yourself, but if you have already stripped the thing, it saves on labour :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks James I suppose your right. I know a few lads that would do it cheaper than a mobile mechanic/garage but still could do without the costs. I will give it a go at the weekend and hope for the best.

beethoven Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Are you sure that your actuator is malfunctioning? If that is the case, you can buy any other actuator (= P&P) If you need another turbo and your actuator is in good condition, you can still use it.

Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yes but not sure wether it's a problem also with the turbo that has cause it to stop working. I'm at the end of my tether with this car I tell you. Too many mechanics/garages telling me different things mate. So I think if I just change them both for a full unit that is working then problem solved :-/ :-/ ( I HOPE ) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beethoven Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Do me a favor and get the turbo hose (hose filter box -> turbo) from the turbocharger. Now you see vanes.If you can spin them around, your turbo = ok and the actuator is probably dead. In the other case, other charger and actuator = ok (99%) Now, it is your car, I have nothing to say about it, but it is not necessary to buy both items, but , if you wonna feel "safe", it is the best option....

Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 What language is that in. Lol. And what prices are they in sterling (uk) lol :-) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beethoven Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's a Polish website, similar to eBay, prices in Zloty 1 Zloty = 0.178155 £ (currently) Prices ex shipment I would say, give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonah11 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would try it but how am I supposed to try it when I don't understand what anything says. Lol :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beethoven Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Let Google(chrome) translate do the job for you, that's how I do it ;) And some of the sellers, they do understand English. Mostly, If I need something, I send an email in Polish, German and English, saying I want that particular part, and you ask for a 'total' price, including shipping And than....I await.....
