Fabia Vrs..lost all boost help?

[EuanGtTdi]

Hey people,

got my new car fabia vrs 130pd sorry its off topic but wasnt sure were to post this!

thing is driving home last night i acceraterd off the slip road onto the bypass and next i started hearing a loud howling noise/whistleing noise like when you blow through a bit paper, i would pulled over and ive lost all boost like theres no turbo at all only revs and drives to 2000rpm making this noise! i drove it 5 miles home and it didnt use any oil and when i start and turn car off the turbo turns off and can hear it spool up when start up, when got home the loud noise had gone but still no turbo/boost

anyone shed any light what think it could be?

Thanks Euan

You've either popped a boost pipe or worst case is I assume your turbo has given up the will to live

Notice any black smoke when this started happening? 

I hope its my former suggestion and not the latter........

If you can hear the turbo spool up, then a boost leak is more than likely the problem.

Depends if it starts sucking on the engine oil like mine did.  If you turn the engine off and its still revving then engage a gear and let the clutch out.  Its the scariest thing I've heard and I was thankful for a chap who stopped to help as I didn't know what to do 

But as Slick says, if you can hear the turbo spool when you start the engine then its a boost leak    Strange you didn't get clouds of black smoke mind unless its a very small leak

what did it sound like?

going to book it into the garage and see what they say

also what company would you got to if were to go hybrid or get a replacement mate?

It would normally make quite a loud sound when a small leak, assumming it is a leak. If you blew a pipe off it would be a noticeable gulp of air.

The engine being limited rev wise would be the exhaust gas backing up and choking the engine.

if my egr was away or stuck would this cause any of this by any chance?

just i couldnt quite tell were the noise was coming from but sounded about the egr area mate

[Agreeable Slick]

Away, not sure what you mean by that?

Stuck... yes quite possibly, if it was stuck closed then you would get a similar symptom.

I always thought it would only puff plumes of smoke out if the leak was before the MAP sensor. Check the red pipe and the pancake.
