Evening all,

Lots of black smoke, lack of power and won't rev above 3500 rpm on my 300 TDI disco.

Diagnosis, blown turbo :mad:

So, do I take a chance and get a second hand unit or take the plunge on a new blower?

Where do I get a new one from?

My local guy has done some phoning around and the best he's been quoted is £540 without VAT.

The cars only worth about 1K so I wonder I wonder if it's worth repairing.

Comment welcome.

Regards
Rob
 
It might not be a blown turbo, it could just be a split pipe on the outlet side of the turbo or delaminated pipes either side. Check that first. If it is the turbo then get a second hand one from a scrappy
