Sorry to hear your going through this. I would look into getting out of the loan, having the vehicle replaced with a new one, or a refund of some sort.

So me and the dealer have come to an agreement. I'm getting out of my loan once they have a fiesta st available. Turns out oil drain line gasket got pinched when they put new turbo unite on. The guy was explaining how temperamental the return line is.

I'm glad it's all getting sorted out. Do you want the fiesta more than the focus?

Very sorry to hear about your bad luck. But thanks for posting this for the rest of us! Of course now when I drive my car, I'm gonna be smelling for burning metal constantly.

So why didn't they replace the return line?

No clue why they did what they did. I've learned from experience that you get more excuses than anything when you try to get a real explanation.

Took the st out for a drive yesterday and noticed a bit of white smoke coming out the exhaust it was more like the kind of smoke you get when your pcv valve craps out. I think it might be because the turbo is still new and has less than 300 miles on it.
