My mate Ash's Lupo TDi cacked itself not long back, this is what happened....

Oil in the intercooler for starters...









Somehow, i think thats royally fooked. He wasnt too pleased about it. I dont wanna know what kinda damage its caused to the internals, its bound to have done something nasty. :/

Hmm, for that kind of damage, thrust bearing is completely worn, and so must the heatshield be, lol.

Makes me wondering if he didnt notice anything before it went completely rubbish :S

id be surprised if the engines been hurt to bad, inter-coolers generally do a good job at filtering out solid bits from the engine. just be glad it didnt drink its own engine oil, run the sump dry and grenade.

oh, and get a new cooler :(

Chemical metal it back together and that'll go for years.... Am I right, am I right?

But on a serious note,
Low oil level maybe?
It'd be interesting to know the diagnoses, looking at getting my mrs a lupo tdi. I was under the impression they are bullet proof

all modern turbo diesels shit turbo's on a regular basis. just seems to be par for the course, tbo i think its cause of peoples demands on what they expect from a diesel these days, those wee turbo's get worked very hard, only saved by good servicing and mechanical sympathy.

biggest cause i have found on bmw's is blocked breathers, on VAG cars its usually poor servicing, carbon build up blocking the strainer etc. but more often than not its just bad luck.

Gobshite that posts wank videos.

I would imagine its also not allowing the turbo to spin down after a road and motorway blasts.

even better when feeding oil through the inlet the engine runs on the sump oil... even without the key in.
Had one where i used to work, engine kept sucking in more and more oil as the revs built until it finaly shat itself all over the yard...wish i had seen it!

Most people stop driving it when it doesnt go right....obviously that guy kept her lit !! lol

When you compare the size of a modern 150bhp turbo and one from years ago ( ie metro ) it shows how much harder the modern units are working. They are just so tiny, yet shift vast amounts of air.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

aye, drink its own oil and grenade.. have had it happen to me on one occasion luckily the clutch was man enough to stall it, the only other way is to block the engine inlet with something or fire a CO2 extinguisher in the direction of the inlet. but obv you need to be quick as itll pop at any point!
