    Default MIght have blown my turbo Help!!!

    Hey guys

    Was driving along yesterday decided to put my foot down then i heard a bang, followed by a sound like a blown exhaust.

    limped the car home to find that the turbo intercooler pipe had come off from the EGR end.

    Changed the clip and fitted back, cleared fault code, but the car feels gutless.

    Could someone guide me as to how to work out if its the turbo that has died?

    Cheers guys

    Try taking disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, the ECU is a self learning one, so it might have changed something in its settings?? Just a stab (and cheap) in the dark.

    OK so i disconnected the battery left it for about 5-10 mins, and reconnected the battery, took it for a spin and it sounds like the turbo is spooling up but there is no power it drives flat.

    Any ideas guys?

    Have you checked all the vac pipes in case any have split or burst?

    Maybe something easy like a split pipe... can you have someone rev it and you have a listen? It might be quite an obvious hiss...

    I'm a little confused how the pipe blew off in the first place... had it been off recently??

    I will have to give that a check. The jubelee clip was not tight so i assume that was why it came off.

    Nice one

    Might be worth replacing all the vac pipes with silicone ones
