Default Think my turbo is on its way out !

Hi all

not sure wots wrong, losing boost, smoking pretty bad first thing from zorst also sounds pretty rough, also noticed smoke coming from the manifold

Had a couple of people look at it, been told diffrent things, told the turbo is f**ked, told it could be a cracked manifold just wondered if someone could help ???

Cheers

I wouldn't drive it very far mate! lol If your in the RAC/AA etc then they can get you towed to a garage of your choice no matter were in the country it is.

If you don't know any decent scooby garages near you then i'd advise you to travell to one of the well known ones off here..Scoobyclinic..ZEN..API etc.

Here is a map from Jolly Green Monsters website that should show you some close decent garages mate
