1.9 Tdi W Reg, Possible Turbo Problem?

[sython]

Hi all, I purchased a Ford Galaxy 1.9TDI about a week ago, and i have a major problem.

 

Was driving along, when suddenly lots of smoke came out of the exhaust, and revs on the car shot upto 7000 revs without my foot on the accelerator.

Pulled over, and took the key out of the ignition, and the car was still reving away, filling the whole road with Smoke.

I have to stall the car, to get it to stop. Also had some clicking sounds, coming from engine..

 

What do you think the problem is? is it gunna be the Turbo has gone?

what colour was the smoke??

[seatkid]

99% Turbo. The turbo oil seal has failed and the engine started to run uncontrolled on oil sucked straight from the turbo. If it got to 7000 rpm then other engine damage (valve gear etc) is likely.

The smoke colour was white.

 

If it is the oil seals on the turbo, does this mean the seals can just be replaced? as long as there is no engine damage i guess.

[seatkid]

New turbo I think.

any suggestions for suppliers for the Turbo unit?
