Right ive come to the conclusion from the siren type whistling sound coming from the engine bay area that my turbo might be fcuked
, here are my symptoms.... i took the turbo hoses off and checked the play in the shaft and found no ovious movement in an out but there was some movement up and down id say about 2-3mm ish but there are no signs of it catching on the housing, on boost there is no smoke and apart from this noise the car is perfect, the turbo spoils up at the right time with no noises apart from this fcuking whine.....does it sound like its fcuked?? if so how much roughly would it cost to recondition it, inc removal and refit??? cheers........i believe it to be a cossie 4x4 T3 its got the numbers A/R 42 on the housing???but it could be a standard/hybrid escort T3??, im running 16psi btw
