Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 2m 24d Posted 08/10/12 08:37 AM Share Posted 08/10/12 08:37 AM Hey guys. Today I noticed my turbo is noisy after I turned my car off. It was a spinning noise for about 45 seconds. I did a quick google search and apparently it's normal.I've never heard it before. And my mates one doesn't do it. Car was fine Saturday night when it got a hammering. Sunday it didn't drive. It drove fine today but made the noise when I turned it off. Can anyone help me? I'm very worried.

See if your turbo has any play by pushing and pulling the shaft gently in and out, slight movement up and down is normal but in and out is thrust wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car gets a retune Wednesday (new intercooler) so mr mechanic can have a look at it. I'm just worried. Friday night I did the earls oil feed line. Was fine Saturday though. Perhaps related?
