Someone said that the turbo on these isn't too bad to do once the cats out of the way - BOLLOX - they are a pure bastard to do, simple as that, just getting the cat out of the way is a proper pain. If this is a 'not too bad' job, I'd hate to see a difficult one lol. (may be easier in a garage with all the gear and up on a lift, but not on a couple of 2ft ramps)
Anyway, finally got the old turbo off to find that the shaft had snapped clean in half no wonder there was no power - surprised it didn't make more noise when it packed up. Hopefully get a new one on next week and van should be up and running again - then I can sell the fukcing thing - what a pile of shite.
60,000 miles and up to now had to replace - turbo - complete clutch including master cylinder and slave cylinder - 2 x power steering pumps - brakes - EGR - etc etc and this van has been serviced regularly.
These are supposed to be a commercial vehicle - they are fukcing rubbish !!
