turbo in all of the time


Recommended Posts

hi,

popped in to see a friend 0n saturday and whilst going for a spin with him ,i pulled up at some traffic lights and he said he could her the turbo whistling i said he is hearing things but upon checking it out on his drive he was right even on little more than tick over the turbo is merrily whistling away .

so question is this a stuck actuator, if so how do i test it ?

if so can it be freed in situ or will it have to come off and how hard is it to do ?

i am not down on power or getting a lot of smoke.

thanks Roy

The turbo is spinning all the time the engine is on, it won't be "working" as such when the engine is idle.

I'd check all your hoses are tight and no holes etc.

Look for black marks on the exhaust flanges to see if its blowing at all.
