What Turbo?

Post by Nandad »

Hi

What turbo is fitted to my pug? I am trying to source a turbo caus it is making a horrible noise on wind down and have been getting a lot of differing quotes - £75 to second mortgage, so am completely flummocked.
Got a P reg Executive estate petrol 2.0.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Had a look on ebay, dozens of 2.0. Hdi turbo's but no petrol ones. I would think that there would be a good starting place, either from some of the turbo suppliers or under 'spares or repair' headings for a secondhand one.

The Petrol Turbo's seize on these cars through excess heat, there's an oil feed and drain but no water cooling, being shoved down the back of the engine doesn't help, 'relaxed' servicing doesn't help and not letting the turbo run down after a run is bad.

There used to be a refurb kit available for these, have a look here:

The petrol one does have water cooling. Well mine does anyway.
