Hi guys
Think I may Have problems with turbo. Here's what is happening and also what I have found
Last night while driving car a strange high pitched whistling noise started while accelerating from a standing start once speed levelled of and cruising no noise.
Brought car home an stop in driveway lifted bonnet and could hear a noise like a blow out coming from turbo area and small amount of what seems to exhaust fumes escaping.
This morning stripped out air filter and box, (did notice pipe on front of air filter box had no jubilee clip and was just about in position it merely fell of in my hand) under side of air box is very sooty
Checked all fittings bolts and pipes in and around turbo and exhaust manifold everything seems fine except the one pipe that goes onto the front of the turbo, pipe was loose and jubilee clip was not tight ( remove same pipe and checked blades in turbo and all okay). With this pipe being loose is it possible the exhaust fumes could be escaping from the front of the turbo at this pipe and the whistling noise could be caused by air being sucked into the turbo passed the blades or should I be looking for something else
thanks Jon
