Great Wall V200 Engine Problems

You were poorly advised to drive a car that has a damaged turbocharger, that it broke down is not a surprise. I would take it back to the dealer who gave you the advice and sort it with them. It is possible that a rubber hose could have split by being over- tightened and caused the problem you talk of. If you want to pursue it further contact the head office of Great Wall and put your concerns directly to them.

You appear to have covered all the bases, so I would suggest you have it checked by another mechanic.

It’s telling you there is a problem with the engine, and the loss of power is most likely because it’s going into limp home mode. You need to get it to a mechanic and have a diagnostic check carried out.

Oil filter part numbers differ according to which brand your use. But in the case of the most widely known brand, Ryco, the engine in your Great Wall will use an oil filter with part number Z516. If you use an AC Delco oil filter, the part number is AC084. Other brands can be cross-referenced (with the part numbers listed above) online at a variety of websites or in the parts manuals kept by automotive parts stores.

There's no doubt in my mind that you are up for the service charge; you asked them to service it and they did. You are correct that your car isn’t worth a lot of money, but it’s worth almost nothing with a cracked head. You could perhaps talk to the dealer about getting a second hand engine from a wrecker and having that fitted. It might be a cheaper option to get the car going.
