Hi all,
For the last couple of weeks my turbo has been a bit noisey best way to explain is like an owl noise... ... anyway..
Yesterday morning while changing up from 2nd to 3rd i heard a almighty pop then the most white smoke i have ever seen, like somthing out of stars in their eyes. Total loss of power, no warning lights, and then the engine cut out. I tried to restart but to get it home i was only yards away but the starter moter couldnt turn the engine??
Called the AA then off to preston Audi. Looking like a new turbo but they aint sure about what other damage it has done, i'll have to wait till Monday when they can have a look.
The car is out of warrenty and only done around 45,000 miles so Audi have already said they will pay 100% of any parts req and do a deal on labour costs which i reakon is pretty good.
Has anyone else had this probem before with a 2L tdi 140 before??
