Blown turbo ?

Featured Replies

Any help appreciated please!:)

I fitted full Miltek decat exhaust system today and seems to of blown the turbo same day!

I gave it abit and it went pop and the engine cut out and now when it finally starts after ticking over for ages it doesn't sound right and loads white smoke coming from exhaust and air filter???

Is this the turbo gone or piston??

Turbo gone.

Boost pipe I would say - normally with a blown turbo you should hear a police siren noie & your car wont start.

Not necessarily, a engine can start with a failed turbo in many ways. With the smoke coming back out the air filter I'm going to say the inlet side of the turbo has let go.

However, it is definitely worth checking all your boost pipes first because it is a common fault on Fabias, worth checking the bottom of the intercooler and the top beside the egr.

Any help appreciated please! :)

Why are you asking us to play guessing games when all you have to do is remove the TIP and use your eyes to see if the impeller is damaged or not?

Was just trying to get an idea, the impeller is rock solid and sharp so time for a new turbo.

Thanks
