Hi Guys,

Could do with a bit of advice on my RRS 2.7 2009 with no turbo!

Engine ticks over fine, revs fine at standstill and runs fine when driven, just slow at picking up speed due to no turbo, no smoke whatsoever at tick over or under load. Engine light came on initially when turbo boost was lost but now goes off after start up check is complete after starting. garage says actuator issue and turbo has seized but having had motors in the past where turbos have failed this just doesn't seem to fit the bill and before i stump up the cost of a body off job would appreciate some ideas as to any other issues I should look at first.

Cheers

Harvo

Turbo actuators are an issue on these (youtube how to free them off). I would start with getting the codes read then find a decent specialist that knows these cars.
