Sorry Guys. Super frustrating. Should not be having these problems. Bummed about your vacation Cole.

I guess this is what they call “shakedown”.

Wish Malia and Weston the best for me.

Easily replaced turbo or random euro only piece?

We have one more on the other blown up motor. The hard this about our motor is that it is the Euro 6. They stopped production part way through and now there aren’t a lot of parts anywhere… makes it interesting

Sucks to read all of this.  Hopefully the parts motor has what’s needed to fix it easily.

If it turns out the turbo was oil starved, as Ben suggested, is there any way to fit a dedicated oil pressure gauge/idiot light to the replacement supply line?

Well. Had a lot of fun in San Diego at Weston’s wedding!! We even got Cole to dress up  didn’t stop him from sporting his KCW in Disneyland the prior day 🙂 Since the vanagon didn’t work out for our Baja trip, we decided to tag along with the Bradburn family to Australia. We will figure out the vanagon when we get home. Happy holidays everybody!!

baywindows are the shit, fuck you.

We will be in Sydney and then Gold Coast and Brisbane! Bummer. I will have to make it to Melbourne on another trip. Thanks for the invite!

Can’t believe the shitty luck with this. I guess at least you’ll get to go on a family trip 👍🏻

Bummer you guys didn’t get to make it to J-Tree… We’ll have to plan something for another time!

Yes! I’m sure we will be back down that way soon. We have to get revenge and take the vanagon on a Baja trip

So I know a day back at KCW this will answer all questions.. but think it just broke the shaft inside the turbo? Between the hot and cold side? Just hope nothing went into the intake side of the motor.

Do something
