My wife’s 2018 Buick with the 1.4L turbo has the dreaded coolant leak at 48,000 miles. The car is under factory power train warranty. Took it to a local dealer. Dealer said the coolant inlet pipe on the turbo is leaking. Provided as estimate of $1,900 to R&R the turbo, gaskets, etc. The dealer said the part that needs to be replaced is part of the “turbo kit” so the entire turbo requires replacement.
The dealer said it’s not covered under the power train warranty. I tried to argue with them saying if it’s part of the turbo assembly which makes the car move how is it not power train? They said sorry can’t help.
Is this typically not a power train covered item? Also seems ridiculous that the entire turbo needs to be replaced for a leaking $4 hose.
Car also has 125k mile extended warranty from another dealer screwing up an oil change…I’m sick of dealerships lately.
