It was from the cross over pipe - a little bullet sized aluminium dag had come away and went through the turbo & into the intercooler (where it was found) Typical Ford problem again!! $1100 to fix the turbo (all new inside) that's not including labour Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsheils Member 7 Member For: 21y 5m 19d Location: Sans Souci Posted 08/05/07 01:36 AM Share Posted 08/05/07 01:36 AM we think this may have caused the problemI had one turbo let go at 80000k (just out of warranty). I approached Ford through the dealer who agreed to replace it under warranty-I was quiet surprised!! Now after 3 months the new turbo has let go. Bearing problems not blades as happened to yours. Have taken it back to the dealer today and await their response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it every service at work anyways...work at a dealership.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
