I've now blown a second turbo on my 300tdi.
First one is obviously bearing related as the centre drive with the fins on is like the old man in a bowler hat when wiggled inside and the edges of the fins have worn down.
But this second one is still quite firm, I had a sudden power loss today whilst out laning.
Great cloud of black smoke which obscures the rear window when accelerating and no power at all.
Turbo also seems to be whistling all the time.
Can anyone tell me what might have happened to it or should I be looking somewhere else, boost pipe maybe?
