bishop21 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi, am new here, i have a pd 140 a3 2.0 tdi and im toying with upgrading the turbo but im not sure as to what one as theres a few out there, just wondered if anyone has any suggestions, Also she seems to be drinking alot of oil as she had a long service in october and shes been empty twice since, the turbo also whines and sounds like its dumping quitely when you lift off the accelerator, is the turbo knackered or leaking?!!!? Im also thinking off fitting one of these diesel turbo dump valves on ebay???any thoughts Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntW Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 the turbo also whines and sounds like its dumping quitely when you lift off the accelerator, is the turbo knackered or leaking?!!!? Get the car checked, does it go into limp mode at all when it does this? Mines just needed a new turbo (£1200) as it was full of baked on soot as a result of only doing low mileage.

SINGH Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Speak to Midlands turbos, I haven't used them personally but have heard good things. They supply refurbished ones with a 12 month warranty on an exchange basis, they quoted me £550 for the 320d rather then £1200 at BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
