Hi all,
Do turbo units generally show signs of failure or just fail??
Mine has over last couple days started to sound very whinny all the time, also started to smoke slightly when driving normal.
Thanks Sean

 

yep that sounds like its failing, sort it out quick

Scoobychris tell me about it..........
A mate has ofered me his td04 but its of a 94 so entry diffrent............

Need a standrad vf23 really to use while I sort mine out

 

Better you sort it now than wait as further use could cause more damage.

 

i wouldnt drive another inch in it until its fixed big issues overwise

 

Cheers guys.
ill have to get the old mk1 golf out then Not the weather I wanted to bring her out in, but rather than that then big damage.

Has anyone used refurb kits on their turbo`s??
If it did need to be replaced, what would be a sensible upgraded turbo that would be an easy fit?

 

so pleased you decided not to sell!!! lol
sorry ! had to get that one in !
you will sort it soon , all the best !
