Puma Turbo software update?
Hi all

Acquaintance of mine looking to buy a Puma asked the dealership about the turbo whine I've been having. this was their response.

Can anyone confirm?

Quote:
I asked the salesman at N1 a couple of questions in an e-mail - one of them was about turbo's on new model Puma's giving trouble - I made reference to general postings on websites and didn't name any names etc

The salesman came back to say the following: "I spoke to our technical guys (I assume that's the workshop staff) and they said it's a known problem on the turbo's - all it needs is a software upgrade and then it's sorted out" -

Thanks mate. But what do you do when the stealer says the turbo whine is within specs!? Confused

btw, this is the whine:

Does this sound like yours did?

Sorry to jump in, but AFAIK LR specs do not regard with noise issues, just distance measurements, temperature etc. Nothing to do with noise types. Or ask him to show you the document stating it is within specs. Puma 110" SW

Rant on!!!! Banging Head

Sounds like another stereo typical 'We've got our heads up our ar5es and haven't a clue what we're talking about' Fob off from the Censored dealers you've got over your neck of the woods!

Deep breath rant off! Shocked

My sympathies are with you!!!! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
