c200 cdi
Hi, I have a c200 CDI on a 54 plate.
It has done 79k miles and has developed a fault with the turbo tonight.
It sounds like the passenger window is open when you put your foot on the gas, like a leaking pipe pouring out air. After about 5 mins the car suddenly loses power and wont go above 3000 rpm however no engine management lights come on. It sounds as if the turbo has stopped spinning maybe due to not enough pressure?

I though I had split a pipe however the hissing noise seems to be coming from under the the passenger side rather than the turbo......

I have had the engine cowling off and been revving it but still seems from the underside of the car?

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Nick
 
If its coming from underneath the car it could be an exhaust blockage/cat breaking up
 
Have you checked that the pipes are still properly attached?
