Hey guys, hoping someone might have some guidance on this one.
Monday morning the car started an ran perfectly normally on the way to work and home.
The following morning it didn't want to start. It did, but was coughing and ended up stalling out. After I hand primed the filter it started with some pumping of the accelerator and ran normally into work.
On the way home the same day I started hearing a sound like an airline blowing, pulled over to have a sus and the turbo outlet pipe running across the top of the motor had blown the rubber hose off the motor. I couldn't fix it on the side of the road so I drove home gently and reattached it once I was home. I also plugged my gauges back in (I had disconnected them due to being too bright at night)
On the way into work this morning it started like ass again, needed priming etc, but drove fine for about 10 minutes before my gauges started beeping. Turns out I was boosting at 20-23psi which is up from around 16 under full load normally. All I could do this morning was let off the pedal and try to keep it around 15 thinking I'd be safe. I gave it a bit of beans a few times on the way and it seemed to settle into around 17psi, so seems to be worse if I keep it under load for a decent bit of time. I also noted in the car park coming in that in 2nd around 3-4 psi it would read 0 then back to 3-4 on and off.
Any ideas? My instinct is turbos on the way out, might be seazing and spinning too freely but I don't know enough about turbos and diesels specifically to make a call. I can't understand how turbo going out could cause the issues on start.
Is it safe to drive if I keep the boost low and I'm not hearing any awful noises from the turbo? I still need to get to work lol
