Default Aftermarket warranty problems

So I get a call from my mechanic this AM. He tells me that the warranty company has only allowed for rebuilt K03 turbos @ $550 a pop!!

Anyone else think that this is ridiculous and unfair?!?

Do I have any options available to me?

Who the hell puts rebuilt turbos in their cars, anyway!!

TIA

Default I'll bet not. When I got my bumper fixed, the insurance company's system

defaulted to a 'reconditioned" bumper, even though none existed.

I'll bet that is what happened, and that you will find that there are no such things are rebuilt turbos for this car

Default Might not be so bad, or bad at all.

I worked for Bosch at one time, (long long ago)
they had an extensive core exchange program on altenators, and fuel injection control modules.

The remanufactured stuff was as good as, if not better than new.

Here's some objective questions. Are you disappointed/concerned that:

A) You expected new parts and the contract says (in small print) rebuild componenets might be used

B) The car will not be properly repaired

My issue is Option B. K03s are crap new, how good do you think they'll be rebuilt?
