MPS6 Owner in Western Sydney
Hey guys,
Bought a 2005 MPS6 about 5 weeks ago, gorgeous car! Been having so many problems with it however. Heres a run down of what happened.
Needed a new clutch when i bought it cause it had a vibration in the pedal, got told it was a finger worn on the pressure plate. When i got it replaced it was a warped flywheel.
Had it back for a day and the wheel bearing and cv boot gave out on the left front.
Got it back and had it back for about a week and a half and driving to work on the m4 a loud explosion changing from first to second in traffic. Took it to MPS Garage and upon investigation, the engine blew a conrod snapped and blew a hole through the block and sump. It sent the piston up through the head and messed up the starter motor blew the oil pump and shards of metal went through the engine and ruined the turbocharger.
So its gonna cost atleast $7k to fix all that and out of the 5 weeks owning it, its been at the mechanics for nearly 4 of them lol.
Anyway getting the engine rebuilt are there things i should be looking out for and also what other issues are known about these cars which i should look at getting fixed at the same time, thanks in advance.
I have put a photo of the car i took 2 days before it blew lol
