Hi Injection Doc My son-in-law has just had the turbo of his C-Max TDCi changed - for ther first time -but the symptoms taste much like those that were discussed since 2010 (or 2011 onwards). It all started with the diesel odour inside the car some 1,5 years ago - obeviously because of leaking injector seal. Dealer wanted to replace all tubing, none is separately available in Finland as spare part. Without this they succeeded getting it tight and everything was fine until January as the odour was back.
The dealer located the problem to EGR valve this time and when changing this they also noticed the turbo being broken: the banjo bringing the oil was externally OK as was the metal wire sock on the tube, but the rubber tube inside the wire sock was "folded" and could not let oil through. This is what was told after the repair. All-in-all, the bill ended in 3050 EUR, much too much for their family. EGR valve was replaced, oil and filter changed, injector seals replaced (?) and turbo replaced.
Could you provide me with that Ford's Service Bulletin, which was referred to in your mails earlier, thanks. If there is some new info of Ford participating to the costs or having changed their policy to a customer-friendly direction, please let me know, too.
Best regards
