Tdi 2001 Fuel Supply Problem

[Chris Dakin]

Following a turbo failure have recently had a both turbo and recon of engine done. After 8 weeks (!) and

Any chance you can confirm engine size and year so we can determine which engine it has, also do you notice any smoke out of exhaust and can you reproduce the fault when you rev it up while stationary

What was the failure of the turbo - oil seals, turbine broke? what damage was done to the engine

It was new brand new on October 2001. Its an 18??cc 115 hp TDi PD

 

Virtually no smoke from the exhaust

 

Oh yes, rev up stationary it will slowly climb to 4K revs but it takes several seconds, have not pushed it harder than that. If you try to drive it it will crawl away then switch to limp mode after a few hundred yards.

 

Turbo all seemed fine. Was on an A road 50 - 60 mph. Then slight singing/hissing noise, power down a bit then big power drop and loads of white smoke :rolleyes: out the back!! Pulled over straight away, it carried on ticking over but I switched off and called the AA. I have found out Turbo (purchased and fitted by recon guys) is a like for like re-manufactured item, I assume they got the right one.

 

Damage to engine not known. I've paid for a full recon and no extras were charged for damaged valve or pistons etc so I can only assume no metal got through to the engine but of course I've not see it with my own eyes.

 

Thanks for your interest
