Consumer Description

Technician noticed coolant leak around turbo during routine maintenance. Sometimes after long drives we would smell hot coolant but didn't think it was an issue. Dealership took it in for repair under power train warranty and was advised that the engine needs to be replaced. From my understanding, the turbo is too heavy for the engine and has caused it to warp. The coolant leak is a symptom of a damaged engine block.
