Hello, I had my 89 Daytona ES 2.5 turbo motor rebuilt 3 months ago. I had noticed that there was blue smoke coming from the exhaust. I took it back to the shop that rebuilt my motor. They just called back to say that I they had a sensor on the head that will burn out at 250 degrees and it was. It is a sensor that they put on all there rebuilts. They also said that there was a good chance that turbo could be leaking, or possibly the rings. Bottom line is there are saying another 1100.00 dollars to check the rings. I had the car checked out from another mechanic before the motor was rebuilt and the turbo was fine 3 months ago. I haven't bagged the car is any way, in fact most everything was replaced on the car. Radiator, Sensors for heat, water pump. The list goes on. I spent a ton of money making this car new. When they rebuilt the motor, I had asked for a replacement head. They insisted that I just have my old rebuilt. My orginal bill was for 2300.00, when I picked the car up I had to pay 2800.00. Which at the time I didnt mind because I wanted everything replaced. When I first got the car home, it was leaking oil. It was only the drainplug screw. I tightened it. Then it leaked thru the oil filler cap. I replaced the cap. It was still leaking. The shop said they tightened the oil pan this morning. Because they said that the heat sensor they installed had burnt out they are not going to warranty any of the work.
Does this sound right to you ? Do I have a leg to stand on when I go pick up the car this afternoon ? Is there any advice for me to help my situtaion ? What can I tell these guys ? If I forgot any detail or any other piece of information please let me know, I'll reply asap. Thanks in advance, Daryll
