EPnick22 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The td04 i have has a lot of shaft play,.and i mean a lot haha doesnt smoke or anything. But theres a strange ticking thats only on idle or under acceleration but as soon as i start spooling it disappears (or quietens) hard to tell cause the turbo is loud lol its got a lot worse lately. It isnt an engine knock, jist.am annoying LOUD persistant tapping. And my manifold is no longer cracked Quote
TurboTobz Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Why are you driving a car with a turbo that could ruin your engine? I'd change the turbo and assess the situation and any remaining noises once thats ruled oit seeing as it's faulty. Edited April 28, 2014 by TurboTobz Quote

Liam_D Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Will be using A LOT of oil if there's major play in there Quote
