One For The Mechanics- Turbo

[Joe1888 672]

no loss of power, no oil use, turbo works as it should. has alittle play in-out in the shaft, can hear the turbine sound on idle and more when shut off engine at end of vid

 

i know its on its way out, reckon i could run it for abit yet?

what damage will it cause if it goes while your running it?.

engine run away. It will run off it's own oil and blow up. Looks like you need a new turbo, plenty of used ones on the net.

I reckon it could be the manifold gasket on the exhaust.

I had same prob on a discovery, same symptoms, felt a little play in turbo, but it was manifold gasket in end, made a real whistle. Turbo was fine

good point, or a warped exhaust manifold, in which case it may need reskimming on the sealing face. Do you get a strong smell of exhaust fumes?

[Joe1888 672]

no strong smell, this wouldnt be causing the turbine noise?

 

getting different opinions on it, some are saying its because they use rollar barings, and the oil pressure will help take up the play? the noise is acceptable and if it isnt using any oil, no large amounts passing through then run it.. just service it every 4-5k

As it got an inter/after cooler on it ,could be a split pipe or a pipe not tight enough... Hard to tell the type of noise off a video really

[Joe1888 672]

it has mate, all good.. if you listen to the end of vid when engine is off its clear...
