I have a 05 blb engine d a4 i think my turbo is away. it sounds like the fins on the turbo are rubbing the housing. Would this be right? There is no smoke and only happens when i am driving. I can sit still and rev the life out of it and it make the sound but as soon as you drive you can hear it. Can anyone give me a bit off advice. Many thanks stuart

No mate its never went into limp mode. its pretty flat to about 3k then goes. i pulled the air box out and it sounds like the fins in the turbo but im scared that it could be the oil pump. There is a slight bit of movement in the fins but i dont know
My 05 blb exhibited similar symptoms and it was the turbo. Finally gave up after circa 95 k and five thousand miles or so after first making the symptomatic noise you describe. The oil pump /balance shaft assemblies pending failure is more of a low pitched rattle from low down at the front of the sump ( I have replaced this as well ). Damned expensive cars these blb powered units !
The noise has just started so i have pulled the car off the road i dont want it doing any other damage..
