golf turbo trouble
Discussion
Hi guys,i have a vw golf 2.0l gt tdi, 05 plate, not had it long.Everything was going fine,till the other week was overtaking a car, and the power just backed off, now it drives more like a 2.0l non turbo diesel,no light have come on.The turbo doesnt seem to kick in at all even in lower gears.Anyway took it to the garage where a guy had a hand held diagnostic device, gave it some revs and told me the turbo gone on it, thats why its overboosting, and gave me a quote of £800.But will have to save up for the repair,will it be ok to drive it round locally at low speeds 30/40mph, cheers for any advice.
Cheers for that, i was thinking of getting a second opinon, cos the car drives realy well and accelorates but without the pull that you would get if the turbo kicks in, only thing is there is a whirring siren like noise in the car itself when accelorating, which ive read links in with the turbo problem, im going to take it to another garage tommorow and see what they say.cheers for your input guys.
