Urgent help needed

[Timotheee]

Okay gents need some help here. I absolutely destroyed my turbo this morning on the way to work, engine is questionable at best with possibly a bent con rod. Seat want almost a GRAND! for a new turbo so as thats out the question i've been trawling ebay for engines/turbos with some success. Just a few things i need clearing up, my car is an ibiza sport 1.9tdi 130 PD engine code ASZ i think. Are the turbos from the 90, 110 versions the same as mine? I know the 150 engines have bigger turbos will this go straight on to mine and run well with my standard ecu because if it does this could a blessing in disgauise. Not ruling out an engine change as it has yet to be proven useable. If anyone can help or just offer general advice that would be much appreciated.

how would turbo failure cause a bent rod?

who has said its got a bent con rod?

what exactly happened?

 

[Timotheee]

loads of oil went through the intercooler/ turbo pipes into the head, into the block then the piston tried to compress the oil and bent the con rod. the bottom end hasn't been checked yet so this is just guess work at this time. the engine runs but runs as if a con rod had been bananad.

driving to work nice and steady as the engine was still cold then giant vapour trail soon followed by it coughing and farting. I immediately turned it off but too late. drove fine until then and didnt hear anything as the kaiser chiefs were too loud!

That's highly unlikely. You'd wouldn't get that volume of oil reaching the combustion chamber from a turbo fault. Most of the oil produced would sit in the intercooler.

The turbo on 90's and 110's is a VNT-15, the 130's have a VNT-17 and so do the 150's [altho the 150's have a stronger version].

As I see it, there's very low probability that a rod has bent,,, I think that the engine ran out of oil and a bearing between a rod and the crankshaft went shot,,, that's what happened when mine ran out of oil,,, maybe a bearing between the crankshaft and the bottom end,,, anyway I think it's difficult for a rod to bend in such a situation,,, and then, how does the oil go from the intercooler to the head? the intercooler sits way lower and the turbo won't be making pressure anymore at that point,,,

yup seen it happen before but you must have been reving it a bit?
