    AAARRGGHH!!!!!

    Surely a turbo (even 2nd hand) should last more than 380km...

    Obviously I have more problems...

    Did you check the oil feed to the turbo ?

    Yes to both - the oil feed was sufficient to empty the sump out the exhaust pipe in the 5 km I limped home after the turbo failed

    What about the drain? If that's blocked, there won't be much in the way of oil flow. The pressure might be fine but it won't help if new oil isn't getting to the bearings.

    Decided its probably the oil return pipe. Decided further to fix it & keep it rather than spit the dummy & get a tojoka
