Hi There,
New to forum.
My 2008 Berlingo van, 1.6 HDi with 71 K miles, passed annual MOT yesterday with advisory " Slight noise in Turbo area".
Was concerned enough to call mechanic back on returning home......he advised that it was wear in turbo bearing which will get worse over time but not fail instantly......increase in oil use as it degrades......nothing to worry about apparently.
Subsequently went online and now seriously CONCERNED with all the horror stories about these engines turbo issues .
Is there anything I can get done now to prevent further Turbo wear / damage and possible engine problems.......surely just letting the wear continue is not being proactive in the longterm ??
Any suggestions following personal similar experiences appreciated.....
