right guys iv recently had a turbo go, the shaft snapped whilst driving and the car cut out. iv taken turbo off etc and cleaned egr and inlet out, ic piping has small amounts of oil in them,the oil pipes are clear and there car diddnt smoke anymore than normal when turbo blew. iv got stamps and in fairness when i picked up he was just finishing a service onit, i have done only 2500ish miles so shouldnt need a service yet? iv read horror stories about turbos etc have searched for answers but am gettin confused. also all the blades are intact so i have questions please

1. why did the car stall when turbo failed? is this normal? the car turned over but wouldnt fire.had management light on but cant tell you what it was for because i pushed wrong button and erased it before lookin doh!"

2. does the intercooler/piping usually have small amounts of oil in them?

3.why would the shaft snap its on 48thousand miles,

cheers guys

1, if the turbo seized or caused a blockage

2, yes a small amount

3, Lack of oil? Abuse? Wrong oil at some point? Obviously could be at any point, before you owned it.
