Title: TDI 150 Boost Leak
Post by: Dean_W on 28 February 2012, 18:00

As title, my PD 150 has a slight boost leak on the intercooler.

Would this cause any long term problems, or just a gradual increase in smoke as it worsens?

If it worsens it could send the engine into limp home mode, bring up fault codes but i dont think it would damage any components.

It is a PD and a ARL.
ARL is the engine model 110KW (150bhp)
PD stands for Pumpe Duse which means unit injector. Basically it has 4 high pressure fuel pumps (the injectors). Common rail diesels which have one pump, a pressurised common rail and and electric injectors.

I'd get it sorted sooner rather than later before any further damage is caused i.e the lugs wear away and could cause damage to the connector housing
