Guest daz 6576 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 my turbo may need lookin at cus i was driving the other day and all of a sudden my boost went straight off like as if an intercooler pipe came off but it wasnt. but as you look into the turbo you can grab the middle of the spindle and it will move like its loose. could this be the problem for the loss of boost this turbo is also almost brand new aswell any help is much appreciated cheers daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I wouldn't have thought there would be a problem with a T04 bud. Not from new. They are well proven. Will you be able to get a pic up indicating where the play is? A rough measurement / guesstimate of approximately how much movement would be good too. Hope it's something else and easy to fix.

Guest daz 6576 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 ill try and find out but if it is this problem how much would it cost to fix ??? roughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Don't know mate. If it's new, can't you take it back to the supplier? I'm sure the manufacturer would want to know to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Exact same thing happened to my 1000 mile only T67 DBB, it was knackered bearings from oil starvation Spindle movement was also evident I have a clip here of how it sounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 hummm not too sure cus mine dont sound like that at all to be honest. maybe im wrong and its not the turbo. does the spindle have a little bit of movement in it anyway. cus mine does but it spins perfectly. and another thing is that it happened all of a sudden like an intercooler pipe coming off. surely if it was the bearings it would of happened graduly???

Its normal to have a small amount of up/down movement in the shaft, but there shouldn't be any back/forward movement, that would indicate the thrust Bering is worn.
