Hey, Ive had a terrible thing happen, ill keep the long story short:
My mechanic had swapped out my second factory TCT unit for me last night. I had the 'supercharger' like whining after I picked the car up, (his shop was closed at this time), I tried to drive it to a friends garage to remove the TCT and see what was up because I thought the sound was related to the TCT. Unfortunately, the car didn't make it, the chain broke.
It sounds like, based on reading other accounts of this symptom, that the chain was over tensioned which caused the failure. I've successfully swapped this a handful of times in my driveway myself after having the worm gear lightly sandblasted. Both my TCTs have worked perfectly each time. His reaction after re-inspecting after the car was towed to him was "looks like your engine didn't like that TCT".
I need some insight on how I can prove that the failure was based on a incorrect install and not on a mechanical failure of my TCT. Is this possible to prove? Do you have any adivce or ammunition to help me out? I have 2 factory TCTs at my disposal, asumming the one he put in last night is still installed in the vehicle - can I compare the function of both of them outside of the car at this point?
I really appreciate any help or advice you can offer. Feel free to reach out for a phone call as well if possible.
