You get to see a lot of weird repairs in the mechanical trade.
This week had a customer come
In with a “noisy engine” .
We initially diagnosed the fault as a suspected exhaust leak but it wasn’t until we removed the intercooler that the entire problem became known.
The person who did the work last time use a high temp silicone sealant instead of the correct gaskets to try seal the exhaust and turbo.
They also managed to strip 3 studs. And break 1 off completely.
We removed all the components, cleaned them and repaired the damage, there was some parts replaced as we couldn’t repair them.
The customer now has a correctly repaired vehicle and is back on the road. 🚗 💨.
