I normally tend to keep an eye on my engine and over the last few weeks have noticed a general build up of dirt around the turbo and one morning there was a minor 'incident' where the car juddered for a moment under acceleration.
I've finally got around to cleaning up the engine this afternoon and have found the following:
I'll order up and fit a replacement, but this is the second on this car after the first appeared to have somewhat split under just the intake being removed and re-fitted, this one was fitted 100% correct and without issue and is probably no more than 10-15k miles old.
I'm hoping that this isn't likely to have caused any damage to the engine as it shouldn't have entered the turbo. But the part itself doesn't seem up to the job? Any one else have similar issues?
