COMP Turbo Oil-Less Weird Noise

MoulaZ

Not that simple for me mate. I'm in Australia, and can't work on my car in my complex. All the work done at my old man's place and I can't clog up his driveway for weeks and drop who knows how much in shipping just to find out "it's fine, that'll be $xxx please plus also $xxx for return shipping". Hence why I provide a bit more detailed information and some audio for someone else who's more familiar with them to chime in. What worries me is so many have said 'oh yeah, that sounds fine', then why did the extra shots of grease significantly quieten it down?

If it wasn't the manufacturer that said that, then it seems like you might have been a little light on previous grease applications. Like Spooler said, keep it greased

If you're really concerned, you can follow someone else's suggestion and send it back to the manufacturer for analysis

"6.The Turbocharger is Pre Greased and ready for install.
• Apply 2 to 3 pumps of Comp Turbo Grease (Part # 950000) every 3000 miles for a rearmount setup.
• In the engine mount 6 pumps every 3000 miles."

"It's a 3 Oz Oil-less Grease Cartridge for routine maintenance with every 3000 miles for reliable and long lasting service."



Manufacturer said even less. Started with "We will need the turbo for inspect for the issue and repair the problem. Can you send it?" and ends with "Do 8 pumps of grease". Those are direct quotes.

Now fair enough, I gave it 5 instead of 6 as stated above. But that's all I'm going to concede... and you're now telling me that somehow means that I went light on the greasing and 1/3 of the way through to the next service that 1 extra missing shot of grease causes the noise to exponentially become louder? I'm not even remotely close to buying that.

Far as I'm concerned, I already did what I was told. I really do hope it was just a mild anomaly and nothing more happens. That last thing I'd want to do is be back here with a 'I told you so' because I'm still the one who gets f*cked... though thanks to Sasha's impeccable customer service that has been significantly mitigated.
