Hi
I am driving from Portugal to Roscoff France to take a ferry to Plymouth. The heard a noise like a pipe blowing off and the turbo stopped working.
I carried on driving for 500km as I was trying to make the ferry and fix the car in the UK.
I thin noticed black oil all over the passenger wheel arch.
I have RAC breakdown insurance.
The French mechanic had a quick look and said its the Turbo. If the Turbo was broken, I would expect black smoke to be pouring out the exhaust, there is no smoke.
I suspect a hose has come off, can you confirm this is the probable cause or is it likely to be the turbo?
Thanks for you advice
