400E, i have been thinking the same thing. even though this is a new factory caged engine i think that we have a bum engine. actually my mileage is incorrect. as i recall the engine has 34,000 miles on it, so we are getting close to the end of the warranty. i strongly feel that we have a bum engine.

Ken, since the engine is on warranty and if it is the turbo seals the dealer should and WILL replace the turbo, or at least put in new bearings if that is at all possible.

Haasman, can you email me more clearly about your idea. i am somewhat confused. my email is thudm1@hotmail.com.

thanks everyone for your help in getting this resolved.
