Steve Cargill Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Originally posted by B3any lol terrible Instead of whistling its like Zinging instead if that makes any sense...... Isn't that the start of the bearings on their way out, the turbine blades starting to skim on the housing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3any Posted January 26, 2003 Author Share Posted January 26, 2003 Its not smoking, but definetly louder zinging, there must be some tech guys out there, Term, Chris, Paul, Branners, Nathan, Terry anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adi Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 yep thats what causes it, and yes it is bad.. but if they have to be replaced think of it like this.. its an excuse for better turbos ! I had both mine done last year but whilst it was expensive , its transformed the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adi Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 You need to get it checked by someone who knows as it could also be a blown pipe or similar.. Chris W is only an hour away from you (maybe less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it sounds like the compressor impeller/s could be touching the housing. It's easy to get the inlet pipes off. Get your fingers in there and try to spin the impeller at the same time as applying sideways pressure. You'll feel if the blades 'scrape' on the housing. If CW is less than an hour away though it sounds like a better bet unless you like getting your hands dirty:) Cheers Nathan TDI PLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
