I have a warrenty on a 2005 Ford Diesel Lariet. The turbo failed to work and
I took the truck to a Ford dealership for repairs. The service manager of the shop, told me that they cleaned the turbo and that is Ford's policy, unless the turbo to obviously broken. I have talked to a couple of other diesel mechanic's and have been told that the Ford shop's repair job is not going to resolve the problem and that metal filings from the defective turbo, could ruin the motor. I have not picked up the truck from the shop yet, because they closed early this afternoon. What should I do?

A turbo charger is driven by your engines exhaust. If the turbo failed to work, cleaning it is not going to solve the problem. If it failed to work, i'd be worried about it being seized. Your mechanic buddies are right, if it seized up, your exhuast is still going to want to turn it, and metal filings will get in to your intake manifold, and end up in your combustion chambers and effectively ruin your engine. If its still under warranty, I would insist they repair or change the turbo and if they still dont want to, have them put everything in writing to include the "cleaning policy". That way you're covered when your engine fails. Good luck.
