Posted 09/06/06 09:45 AM Share Posted 09/06/06 09:45 AM Yup,Sixfan has blown another one....I gave the T a really carefull wash this evening and on pulling the car back into the shed and shutting it down....oh, what's that coffee grinder noise?It's my rapidly expiring turbo grinding it's way to oblivion....now, the thing that kinda is annoying about all this is that I've been driving it bloody carefully, I haven't even been doing 180...Still like the car, love the BA, love the way it handles, I still want a phoon but... I'm looking at a GT-P I'm sick of all my mates laughing at me and my T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's under warranty, but are they worth a pop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
