Default Stealership is trying to screw me...

I driving down the interstate yesterday when I hear this wheeezzzing sound. I figure it's the turbo (88k miles). So I immediatly take it to the dealership and drop it off. I have a boost gauge in it, the boost was not going past 0. Anywa, they call me today and say there was barely any oil in it. I just had my damn oil changes about 1500 miles ago. There is no leak, I park in the same spot everyday. He is trying to say I may have to pay for this, we may end up in court...

Default No oil in the engine or just in the turbo? If turbo only is dry, could be a plugged connection and

may have nothing to do with the oil change

Default Dude that dealership is trying to fvck you up... they probably drained the turbo

using the drain plug on the the turbo itself. Then forgot to put the required 1 quart into it. My dealership tried the same thing... i took them to court and guess what... Yeah you got it.. i lost

why?
because oil is put through your turbo via oil feed lines. It doesn't have it's own seperate resevoir or anything. Check your oil level.. is it good/clean? Yes? well now go and buy a new turbo... and figure out why the turbo wasn't getting oil. Good luck
