  1. Turbo failure due to overspeed issue.

    So the turbo on my 100000 mile 2.0Tdi 184 has failed due to overspeed, quite spectacularly apparently. Anybody have experience of the same thing on their car? Apparently the cause is an air leak or blockage in the intake, sensor issue or injector fault. I've checked the intake hoses and the...
