What about the rattling noise when being revved though?? Could the seals have blown?? From reading on forums turbos can kill engines from sending debris back into the engine?

Thanks for your replies so far, much appreciated..

With a pipe off it can make all sorts of noises. Check the hoses first to see if one has popped. You will need to replace it as the lugs will have worn

You may find it then cures your rattling noise

Thanks alot buddy

No probs  keep us updated. Hopefully it was just a pipe

Check your oil level too. If the seals did blow then chances are you lost some oil too

Well my garage is charging me about 700 for a reconditioned turbo fitted so not as expensive as i thought it was going to be but still not good at this time of year lol

Ouch!!

That sounds expensive for a fitted recon unit

What would u call a fair price for this sort of job? I mean how long should it take? The turbo is exchange and im guessing you can get a reconditioned turbo for about 250ish?

3 hours tops maybe 

Slightly different but my brand new turbo for my old 130tdi was about £450. Id price up a new turbo if I were you......
