Driving along i notice the slight tubo whine was now a whistle,so i put my foot down in 3rd gear arond 35mph,car cut out just as turbo was kicking in,thinking back im sure there was a 'pop' noise just before it died(abit like poping a bag of crisps)
I first checked oil....it was ok,then i started it and drove it about 20 yards ...couldnt drive it as the smoke was very bad,i started it again and soon as i did smoke poured out......whiteish/grey ,i knocked the engine off re started it 2 -3 times after and still same,but this time the engine was running on even after i turned the ignition off, on/off....on/off with the ignition and it eventually stopped,the AA came and said do not start it or engine will get knackered,no coolant has been lost......seems like the turbo,thats why theres no oil left in the engine,before atempting to start it he said drain intercooler,put some oil in it then start it......there was also i hissing/whirring noise when i started it and AA said maybe turbo bearing has give in..........these the usual turbo symptoms?
