Workshop to Recommend for Turbo Issue


clariwee

Recommended Posts

Anyone can recommend a reliable and reasonably priced workshop that can diagnose and repair turbo issue?

Sent my car to C&C last week for recall campaign. Was told that the diagnostics flagged out an issue with the Turbo. Still can drive but was recommended to make a separate appointment to repair it.

Last evening I felt a sudden lost of power and the car behaved like a NA car i.e. no turbo kicked in when down shift, just rev up and acceleration was slow. After I stopped at the traffic junction, the turbo came back again when moving off. Anyone encountered similar problem before?

Hi Bro, I experienced the same on my W176 pre-FL this morning. No turbo spool despite I use manual and drag to 5K RPM, it juz felt like a NA car and slow climb.

Mind to share how was your experience and rectification?

Exact same symptoms. Went to Chip Soon to have it checked. The turbo actuator was leaking so got it changed and the problem was resolved. Fyi, before I went to CS, I went to 2 other workshops and both recommended to change the whole turbo. Went to CS for 3rd opinion and they saved me a fortune.

Tks for the info Bro, currently the loss of power from the turbo only happens after driving for 30 mins or so. Will be checking on the turbo actuator as prior to this there was oil leak from the turbo and my WS changed the seal thinking that was the issue.

Mine started as an intermittent issue before becoming more regular. No fixed scenario when it will happen. Can be just cruising happily and suddenly lost power.
