Does anyone know what it sounds like when the turbo starts to die?
I only ask because my 2.4 2nd gen is making some very strange noises when driving. The noise is a kind of growl but very loud, it starts at about 1800rpm just as the turbo kicks in and keeps going until it changes gear ( it's an auto ), then it disappears until the revs build up and it starts again.
I've just replaced the exhaust down pipe as the old one was rusting with a couple of holes in it, did think that might be the cause of the noise but it's still happening.
I've checked round all the exhaust and manifold joints and there's no leaks, when driving, the sound seems to be coming from behind the firewall under the bonnet, the only thing I can think of is the turbo as that seems to be where the noise is coming from
Could my turbo be about to die?
