My daily drive 1.8 TQS has been getting a little sick - needing some TLC tots of turbo noise been a bit like it for a while... got a bit worse recently with a blowey spinney noise, and upset noise at 3-4k RPM so I drove it carefully I had been getting mixture adaptation ...gasket between turbo and had died.... Replaced it along with service etc... Turbo seemed ok but couldn't really check the cat though what I could see it was quite white - I not the "usual" honey comb texture you normally see.
Did a test drive the turbo got hotter than normal - cherry red and it didn't pull around 3-4k rpm as you normally expect it to... The cars completed 211,000 miles
I'm wondering if the CAT has passed its end of life and is blocked ? there are not any fault codes stored IS there any checked I can do to confirm..?
