i've seen this alot in the mk4 ibizas, mainly the BLT engine. the turbo collapses and blocks the induction path, if you remove the inlet pipe at the manifold then the car should start.

*checks engine code* ..... Damn its a BLT.

Is this likely to cause internal engine damage ? I've had this car 1 friggen day ! Sold with an RAC warranty but the dealer is "having trouble activating it online" I called RAC warranty and they're experiancing no problems with their systems as the dealer has told me differently i think i'll be letting loose as this sounds more expensive every post. I will get them to check turbo before ordering any parts.

Lol. Don't let it run now you know that it runs with oil cap pff or it will suck oil through and burn it then you will be f*cked! If your only had it a day go back and start screaming about trading standards they soon find your warranty and get it sorted!

if there talking about a egr replacement have a look around for an egr delete pipe, would stop the the inlet manifold etc being caked in soot, i did mine and found at least 1cm of soot build up on every part of the inlet manifold, looked like the old owner didt use the turbo much...

take the top intake pipe off closest to the manifold then see if it runs - leave the oil cap on though.
you'll only need a screwdriver to pop it off.

£550.00 is a good price for a new (standard) one, but im sure they would have quoted you for an exchange unit.
