turbo woes

[PukkaSilvia]

yeah. this can be quite common.

the exhaust turbine housing is connected to the bearing carrier housing via a large circlip..

Either the housing or the circlip has worn away with age and nowthe circlip does not fit correctly

you need to either replace the circlip and/or housing or replace the turbo.

I had the same problem once. I welded the housing to the centre bearing carrier nearly all the way round and it kept it gas tight. ( bodgetastic!)
