Turbo gone.. i think?

[Austin-182]

Driving at around 70mph and a strange sound, then the car felt atrange. It sounds like a hairdryer when I put my foot down. Its still driving but doesnt have the power. Engine also sounds louder as if theres an aftermarket exhaust on it.

Any ideas anyone?

Worst part is I was driving home from filling a full tank up lol.

More likely a hose popped off.

It misfiring?

I'm no mechanic but it sounds a bit like the exhaust manifold is damaged mate. Plenty of lads with good knowledge on here so you should have an answer soon.

Yeah I'd vote this so far

 

[Austin-182]

Hmmm. No idea how to tell tbh.the turbo looks like its covered in oil, but im not sure if its always been like that

It was still driving just with not as much power and struggling to build up speed. I pulled off the 70 road onto a 30 to get it home

Unlikely to be turbo as you would most likely have lots of smoke out the exhaust or hear a grinding kind of noise

Any flashing EML? Sounds like it went into limp mode, and my clio sounded like a hairdryer when misfiring.
I've no experience with boosted cars though.

 

[bloke]

low or high boost?

 

[mossyv6]

Does sound like a boost pipe split or come off.

Egr stuck or knackered ? Check if the plastic pipe has come off turbo

I've heard of these splitting the turbo hose.

My bet is one of the boost hoses is split.

do a boost test... you will easily be able to locate the leak... if there is one otherwise take the inlet pipe off the turbo and see how much play there is in the core, a little up and down movement is ok and i mean a little, but there should be no axial movement

This is whats happened! Just in the middle of doing it now. Or trying to lol...

Theres a small pipe part too which was still on the turbo. Any ideas? Like a plastic ring.

Would also love to lnow how this will come off!? Tried hitting with a hammer to free it off but it wont move

 

[Austin-182]

Managed to get the egr valve out as i thought it would be wise to see if it needed a clean. I ended up doing this while trying!!

I have put it all back together and tightened it up as the main park kees it all inplace, but will it cause any issues or should it be fine?

Just went out and its running like normal again.

 

[Brigsy]

Broken part not ideal but should be ok with 2 bolts until you get a replacement. Refitting the plastic boost hose is a pain the rubber bung is mega tight.

Could it cause any issues? It seems to be fine and where it has broke away doesnt seem to affect the main part of it. Any idea if i can get that as a replacement or would i need a full new unit?

Yes the hose was a bit difficult but went on easier when i attached the top piece first. Why would it of popped off in the firat place? Im worried it might happen again now.

Just realised... Redcar Brigsy?

Yes sir thats me thought i recognised the name! Been a member for a while just started posting. You will need the inner half of the egr get one from the scrapyard for nowt - engine is shared with lots of other models. Yours looks pretty knackered now should work but not ideal with the lugs missing.

Nip the hose clip up tight on the plastic pipe should be ok make sure the jubilee clip is not catching the actuator rod. Also check the rubber has not popped into the pipe or you will have a boost leak. s**t design i was chewing on with mine for ages when i changed turbo
