I've never replaced a turbo and can't give you any idea what it would cost, but my guess is that it is not cheap. You might want to check with some of the big online diesel shops that sell rebuilt turbos and see if they will either rebuild your turbo or sell you a rebuilt at a discount for the exchange. I know Diesel Injection Service ( www.dieselpage.com ) sells rebuilt turbos. Maybe you could buy the parts and rebuild the turbo yourself.

Dude, you're turbo is covered under the 5yr/100k mile ENGINE warranty. Look on page 7 of the diesel supplement to your owners manual. It tells you everything that is covered. Turbocharger is one of them. It will cost 100 bucks for the deductible. They'll fix the turbo and any incidental damage. If they say they won't, pull out the book and show em in black and white. I've been through this three times with the dealer, so don't let them push you around.

So Basstardo, what you're telling me is that the warranty will cover the damage caused by the K&N filter? Also, it won't be voided as a result of the K&N filter seeing as it was incidental damage? By "incidental", I mean that I didn't know that the filter would damage the turbo.

Honestly, that all boils down to the dealership. Some of the dealers in my area go as far as to sell aftermarket stuff, others really shy away from it. The biggest catch to the whole engine warranty is the dealer has to prove the aftermarket product caused the failure. In this case, it's pretty apparent, but ya never know until you actually tear into the turbo itself. For all we know, there could have been a defective part in the turbo when it was assembled, but gettin the dealer to realize that is a different story. I do think though that if you take it to the dealer, they'll fix it. If they don't try another dealer. It's worth a shot and may end up savin you some cheddar in the long run.

That periscope is from the breather element. It's not unusual to have a little bit of oil buildup there. The grit had to come from the intake though. Some of the grit tends to stick to the oil that does make it through.
