Member 692 Member For: 18y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 15/09/10 02:45 AM Share Posted 15/09/10 02:45 AM (edited) Hey guyssorry I dont know a great deal about the workings of a turbo or the ways to fix things.Few days ago I started the car up and heard anpleasing sound coming from engine. I worked it out that it was coming from the turbo, a very metal sound. After taking pipes off I found that the shaft in the turbo has no in and out play, but it has a fair amount of movement up and down and that there is a lot of scratches on the inside from spinning. Some of the fins seem to have worn a way a little bit too.What is the decision on this, do I have to replace the whole turbo, or can I replace the shaft or what? Any help is very much appreciated as I want to try and get car back on the road in a few weeks suppose to be driving to qldalso what do I need to do to find any shavings, metal that may have come off the turbo and is in the engine somewhere, anything else I need to replace so this doesnt cause anymore damage?cheers guys Edited 15/09/10 02:49 AM by Azid Rush Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70526-turbo-trouble/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slash Guests Posted 21/09/10 08:00 AM Share Posted 21/09/10 08:00 AM Sorry to say, but if you can't afford to fix/maintain it... You shouldn't own it.You shouldn't even consider replacing it with a cheap knock-off china copy turbo, just go out & get a genuine rebuilt or new one when funds permit. You'll also need to take all pipework & cooler etc off & clean them thoroughly to get rid of any schrapnel.Whilst you're spending money, get an aftermarket oil feed line as has already been mentioned & keep on top of servicing. Treat it like an engine oil filter & change/clean it every service the car to prevent further turbo failures.Good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70526-turbo-trouble/#findComment-1041968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
