UPDATE on Turbo and Judder
Hello all,
As promised, an update post turbo rebuild. Matters didn't exactly get off to a spiffing start what with the turbo arriving at Turbo Dynamics with the actuator "smashed to smithereens" and unrepairable.....There was also a bash to the turbo (cold side) itself so some-one had been having a bad day at the couriers:fail
Tom from T/D was very helpful however and said he'd look after me as it was their chosen courier that I'd used..
News came back that the VNT was indeed very coked up and quite probably sticking, unfortunately the actuator was too badly smashed to test.
Turbo was cleaned, re-built with new bearing and seals and then flow tested. A new actuator was fitted and all returned to me for the total price of £336 inc vat and both deliveries which seemed more than reasonable.
Got it all fitted few days ago and have been trying to recreate the original fault but so far so good!!
Need to get some real miles on it to really be confident that all is solved and will post back any news.
Cheers
KennyP

Very glad to hear your problem seems to be sorted just a real shame about the actuator as we'll never know if that was the issue or not as it's since been replaced please keep us updated with your progress and if you could please share the fault codes which pointed you to a turbo rebuild, thanks for updating us

Kenny now that you have a few miles under your belt has the issue return? Does the car drive any better than before ie. More pull etc
Hi All,
We update. Car has now done well over 1000 miles (and an MOT) since all this began and it has not missed a beat. No stuttering, mpg maybe slightly better and it will spin up the rears in 2nd again if you ask! It's that sort of moment when you think, oh yes, this is how this used to drive.....
For the money for the rebuilt turbo I really can't complain, just wish I'd started with that in the first place!!!
