Anyways, at the panel beater for a few weeks and here she sitsstill a bit work to be done, tonnue cover etcUnfortunatley, there is a reason why I posted this topic hereIt was past its due service for about 10K and of course the turbo was rattling and now ceazed!!! The bearings are obviously gone, question of course guys is what is every bodies opinions and experiences in sorting this issue out, what the cost were as well would be much appreciated Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
