iv recently purchased a pd130 2002 with 62,000 on the clock and it makes a whooshing noise, like a spraying noise but i assumed that was the turbo, i think it sounds good!

If there is a really loud whoosing noise i would say you may have boost leak ..

hmmmm bit worried because it does sound like its coming from the front drivers side. if iv got a boost leak is it ok running the car with it for a while? or will that damage anything? no funds you see and its not a performance problem as of yet!

So no performance prob yet?
What about economy? What kinda miles to a tank and what kinda mpg? Has it dropped?

I've got a boost leak also :(
Went and got my intercooler changed by Toph yesterday but now the pipe on the top of the intercooler is loose and leaking an oily dark coloured substance down the side of my brand new intercooler :(

It looks like the probelm is the metal connector thing in between the 2 pipes :(

Anyone know how much they are?
