Hy guys! Hope you had a great xmas & are looking forward to new year! I have posted a thread on tech, but not much joy yet! Just wondered if any of ya know if there is a way of telling if your turbo is on it's way out?

Cheers x

 

well i cant say much
but if its on its way out i should think you would loose power and boost
making the car seem less powerfull

Could be wrong, but I always thought the 1st sign was a smoky exhaust (or is it too late by then?)

 

and poss oil usage
check the oil
all above combined

 

Thanks for your help, I will have a look into it & see what I find! I think the turbo is probably fine, think it's me being a typical paranoid female lol! Hope you have a great New Year!

 

white smoke on boost with poor boosting when fully warmed up.
pop it to local trusted specialist for check over

Thanks for that Martin, It only has a problem when its cold & rains! When warmed up its fine! Bizzare aint it!

 

What kind of problems are you getting on the cold rainy days before it warms up?

 

On my VF28 it was hesitation, then a bit of a whine.

Eventually, the engine went into limp home mode, 30mph flat out.

Hope that helps.

Do you have a catted up pipe by the way??


Regards.

Moisture/water in the electrics somewhere possibly.
