So I was driving to Carmarthen on Friday when I suddenly lost power and had a whine instead of a whistle 
Guess the turbo is dead

Been told to check the intercooler for damage . I feel it is more of a turbo issue although going to rip the bumper off to have a look at the IC. Odd thing is there wad no oil out of the exhaust just smoking.
Just started and there is mostly white smoke coming from the exhaust
. No sign of damage or leak at the IC.

Of the turbo has gone on it though, you'd be stupid not to clean everything from the turbo up to and including the inlet.... I wouldn't risk starting it again if it was me lol

Good thing cleaning the egr and inlet, mine is still gleaming with the egr delete after 3000 odd miles

Sort of glad I sold mine before my camshaft needed doing, I do miss it though! Drove it again the other day and forgot what a beast it was! Bad luck mate, how much is it all in?
just got it back all in 751.88 - car feels like a new car MPG has improved
