Unfortunately I have had an issue with the turbo this seller has advertised. I bought if for $680 after inquiring as to the overall condition and shaft play. I was assured it had minimal (less than 2mm) shaft play and was in good working condition through phone conversations and PMs.

Two workshops have inspected the turbo and advised that it has over 4-5mm of play in the shaft and the bearings are completely ruined. It is not in good working condition and cannot be used in its current state. As a result I am getting the turbo rebuilt at a cost of over $700.

I contacted the seller and advised him I was seeking compensation as the turbo was not in the condition described by him. He has refused to discuss any type of compensation. I was seeking $200 which I believe is entirely reasonable since I paid $680 for a turbo that cannot be used.

I have contacted SAU administrators and have been advised to post this in the original sale thread.

bloodsword27: As a seller, you have a responsibility and an obligation to deliver the item exactly as described in your for sale thread.

Based on the information Jeff has provided above, it appears that the description of the turbo that you provided was not accurate, nor a true reflection of its condition, so with that in mind you are obligated to provide the buyer with either a complete refund, or a mutally acceptable settlement agreed upon by you both.

It is absolutely unacceptable to supply an item that is not exactly as described, much less in a completely unusable state, then refuse to accept responsibility or offer a refund.

Please get in contact with Jeff, and settle this issue amicably within 7 days, otherwise your posting ability may be restricted.

Thanks

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
