After about an hour of collecting the car I heard a pop and lost most of my power. Another motorist stopped and confirmed that my turbo pipe had come off. I rang the garage and he almost too quickly agreed. When I looked under the bonnet the engine cover and other plastic parts were covered in a spray of a grey/brown substance. This has stained the plastic and will not come off. When I rub the substance it becomes shiny almost like graphite from a pencil. There was also water, oil and a greyish gunk around the filler cap on the engine. I sent the attached photos to the garage and he says the stain is from a "cleaner" they use on the engine. It's obviously not a cleaner as its actually stained my engine cover. I'm taking the car back to him today and would really appreciate some help in diagnosing the problem so I can force him to accept blame and repair the damage. The guy that helped me on the side of the road thought it could be a gasket issue as there seems to be water and gunk around the filler cap. How could fixing a timing belt create these problems? Thanks for your help Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 25, 2016, 5:06 AM Post #2 of 3 (1338 views) Re: Turbo pipe blown and brown substance sprayed on engine Sign In You didn't even say what this car is. Doesn't matter as you just had work done and an immediate problem so take it back. They own (it's their problem now) the issue as to what went wrong, T Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 25, 2016, 7:51 AM Post #3 of 3 (1336 views) Re: Turbo pipe blown and brown substance sprayed on engine Sign In Bonnet...it is going to be some European brand that isn't sold here probably. I agree, you should take it back and have them look to see what is going on. Will be interesting to find out what the gunk actually is. Find out what type of cleaner they are using that stains stuff. Hopefully not oven cleaner...lol It is possible the pipe from the turbo or the pipes before it had oil sitting in them to begin with. Oil from the crankcase vapors and possible leaking turbo seal can allow oil into the pipes. Mixed with water and other gunk can make a nasty gunky sticky mess. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
