guy86 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi everyone,Wondering if anyone can help, my glanza has completely lost boost, it's making a high pitch squeal wen boost should b come on. There is no feel of boost and nothing coming up on my gauge or on my ibc boost controller. I have checked all pipes and there is no leak that I can see. My acctuater is fine also. When checking the pipes there was some oil in them and the car is also smoking on idle and when it's warmed up properly it smokes when decelerating sometimes.Im expecting the turbo is completely fooked but would like some opinions. Any help would be much appreciated.ThanksGuy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Take the air filter elbow off and see if the compressor wheel spins . It sounds like it may have seizedIf you have checked for boost leaks and made sure the actuator is holding then it can't be much else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That deffo sound like a boost leak to me mate but as the above start her up and check the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The whistling is a massive give away that it's a leak check it again I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guy86 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Cheers guys il have another check soon, but if it is a boost leak then whats up with the oil and smoke? Also I've had a leak before and I still had a little bit of boost but in this case I have none whatsoever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Whistling sounds like a leak Oh and oil in pipes could mean turbo seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 A high pitch squeal could also have something to do with the turbin as mark has said take the air filter elbow off and have a look/feel of the turbin to see if its ok! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ceased shaft I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flaminsam Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 And another turbo bites the dust. I should be getting my new (or replacement) turbo tomorrow. Come to think of it my turbo made a small squeal then it stopped. Bit of a give away really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
