Hi All
I was informed by the garage that my cam belt timing was wrong or jumped...........hence why I had no power.
I was also told that my turbo shaft had split/broken in half.............petrol in the engine oil!
Can the Cam belt problem also cause the other problems.........?

Either your garage are spinning you a line, or the car's toast.

I don't understand how a turbo shaft could break / split or how that could lead to petrol in the oil. Maybe a case of Chinese whispers here?
