So has you all know if you have been following this post my boost kept going out error code P0101 I had my MAF sensor replaced but that did not fix it so I took it to a shop the works on turbo's and tune cars.. they told I had bad seals on the turbo and that it had an excessive amount of oil in the turbo... before I let them work on it I found out I was still covered under my warranty so I had it towed (((the guy at the shop said I should NOT drive my car..))).To a Chevy dealership I also asked this dealership if they had worked on any turbo's before they said yes...

They got the car on Tuesday the 11th it was a bit later in they day so Joe the service manager said they would contact me tomorrow and let me know what they found..Later on wed they called and told me the BOV was bad and also the turbo needed to be replaced// nothing was said about the oil in the turbo.

On Thursday I called them and they said they had made a mistake that the turbo on the HHR's is put in backwards from other turbo's and that they BOV was fine and that actually they found nothing wrong with my car, and that the oil in the turbo was just some oil getting pulled in from the vacuum and that it was perfectly fine... I was told I could pick it up on Friday.

I picked it up today I had them explain again what they checked and what was done.. to my surprise they said they could find NOTHING wrong with my car and therefore had done no work to it and it should be fine..

6 house after leaving the dealership my boost cut out...needless to say Monday morning I will be at the dealer with my car for them to fix.... this has not been a good experience so far..

 

When the turbo cuts out does it stay off for the whole drive? From my experience with no boost issues it can be very helpful if you can get it to the dealer while it is acting up.

 

yes it stays off the whole time and then just wont come back on till I have it reset.. I will be taking it back to the dealership on Monday morning....

 

That sounds more like a programming or sensor problem

 

P0101 is a maf code. Possible causes are bad maf sensor, boost/vac leak, bad map sensors (maf and map correlate). If you have a boost leak, you will likely get the oil that you described from the turbo overboosting.

 

Update to what was wrong and has been changed... After 2 and a half weeks of back and fourth with the dealer.... and a new Inter-cooler new wastgate sensor and new MAF sensor wire harness I am happy to say the car is now running better then ever....

I want to give major kudos to Fredricktown Chevy in Ohio for sticking with it and the outstanding customer service I got the whole time.. that included constant updates to me via phone and the use of two different loaner cars both of which were very nice ....
