Engine complaints

Engine & cooling

Turbo oultet pipe completely sheared off. Many problems with simalar models and was told by spartan that this particular model was not flagged. Strangely enough it has the exact same thing happening as other models. Diesel exhaust pouring in to cabin of coach very big safety hazard with carbon monoxide. Made me dizzy and almost pass out.
