TDI engine dead?

<< < (2/3) > >>

wizard:
I  recon all of the above apply's. It would be cheaper for you to look for a replacement engine rather than rebuild the one you have.
If you have a bit of dosh try Turner eng, if you don,t try matt Savage.
If you have very liitle dosh look on this forum or e bay.
Regards
wizard :twisted:

Stewart:
Sounds like the seals in the turbo have blown due to bearings collapsing,its filled the intercooler up with oil and then run on this!
If ur lucky u'll get away with a new turbo and flushing ur intercooler out if its not blown the head gasket and the pistons havent picked up in the bores. good luck

afink its abit of both 2bh
he drove it with the oil light flickering which would equate to oil starvation to both turbo and pistons, so to be fair i would say the turbo will be shot and so will the pistons, maybe a broken oil scraper aswel

Range Rover Blues:
Sounds like a classic turbo oil seal, it was running on it's own oil there for a while.

Whether it's goosed now though I wouldn't like to say, I have heard of engines exploding when this happens.

thermidorthelobster:
Am I right in thinking it can also happen when oil is pressurised (through worn piston rings) through the crankcase breather and vented back into the air intake?
