little help please!

[Andy88]

I have just got my car back today after having my hybrid turbo fitted. I got it home and whilst trying to burn off the remaining oil from the exhaust as instructed there was a loud hissing sound when the car reached 4k rpm (2.0 tdi) it sounded like a hose popping off, has anyone got any ideas as i dont want to take it back to the garage with a possible detatched hose... :S

4k with a new turbo ?????????????

Almost certainly a pipe popped off so you have two choices - pop it back or gently drive back to the garage.

You may have been 'instructed' to burn the oil off but not at 4k rpm !

To be honest i wasnt even going fast what so ever was in second gear just trying to get the last bits out, so what hose is it most likely to be ?

 

[mike foster]

It's likely to be the pressure pipe. You need to get at it from underneath the car. After you take the bottom cover off you can see a pipe between turbo and intercooler and it often pops off at the intercooler end. It's only held on by a wire clip and is easy to put back (once you get at it ) !

take it back to the garage
they should have put it on right in the 1st place

 

[Andy88]

its a bit far to go with the pipe disconnected thats my only worry. I will have a crack at putting it back on tomorrow.

 

[mike foster]

Why don't you give them a ring first, explain the problem and see what they say ? After all, they are the 'experts' !

Too ****** right, Bez 100%, a pipe shouldnt just pop of full stop, afterall they test drove it surely!!!

With all respect if a garage doesnt know how to tighten & test a boost pipe for pressure as in with there hands to see it it has play with the jubilee etc, then I wouldnt be using them full stop.

This is of course basing it on a net based fault diagnosis, it actually is a pipe thats come of, which is remote, but hey you get what you pay for as such................

 

[Andy88]

Well what else could it be? the noise it made sounds like when you remove the air compresor after pumping up your tyres but louder, now there is a loud noise coming from underneath near the downpipe.

blown turbo

 

[Andy88]

[hades-]

[Andy88]

[hades-]

[NHN]

Lets not jump the gun & worry the OP, just take it back limping & politely say, fix it, end of, doesnt get much easier than that does it.
