    This is fantastic! Replicating multiple different sounds and smoke is something that I've never seen before on CZcams videos.
    My car is currently cutting out immediately after it starts up, but when I disconnect the turbo actuator, or the wiring connector to the actuator, it starts just fine, but obviously runs a bit weird driving without the turbo. And the actuator is not sticking either, and I just cleaned out the turbo last year.

I've got a 1.8T, new to me, seems to run okay, no MIL, but I can't hear the turbo charger at all. Is this common?

    I have seen many videos, your videos are the best and clearest about turbochargers. No doubt oil is very important for a turbocharger to work and last long time. In m case I have bought a BMW. After 20000km the turbocharger crash. When Ifollowed the service history, I found from 2015 to 2016 the car has driven over 40000km on the same oil. And from 2016 to 2017 passed over 43000km. No wonder my car has got a lot turbocharger problems. When I have a twin turbocharger in my car. I have two turbocharger the small one is high pressure and the big one is low pressure. There are two pair electronic ventils, 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventil for the high pressure , 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventile for the low pressure. So when my car do not accellerate in the low 900-2000 rpm the two components converter and regulatorventil may be faulty. If the turbocharger do no work from 2000 rpm and up the other pair of electronic parts are at fault. Am I right?

    This is the best video i have found explaining all different symptoms of a bad turbo, ive got a 2011 Audi TT 8J CESA engine which recently started smoking blue smoke from exhaust when i rev the car, whilst idling thou its not that bad and only gives off a very little until under load so im assuming it could be the turbo. i also noticed a whistling sound from intake when i rev her up, louder with cold air intake, when it smokes i can smell the oil, PCV valve has been changed and still does the same, any further advice before i take it to the mechanic for turbo replacement?

    Thanks for the video really insightful. Just a quick question. I had a mechanic come out and carry out a full service on my audi a4 b7 tdi. When he left I took it for a drive and ended up losing power after a few mins with white smoke coming out of the exhaust also have the whistling sound too. When I parked up the mechanic had left the lid loose on the water bottle. Could this have caused my turbo to blow? The mechanic is denying any fault saying its just bad luck that the turbo blew after changing the oil and all filters etc. I'm out hundreds of pounds and now have a car I can't drive....

      @RobinundertheHood  Před 2 lety

      Hi Ruhel, thanks very much and sorry about the late reply! If all your hoses and piping together with the intercooler are tight, it could be a worn turbo. Today, the cost of a brand new turbo is similar to a reman turbo, so you might as well get it replaced with a new one. /Robin
