Hi guys, have a problem with my 2003 Leon cupra r.
Got in to drive it the other day no boost from the turbo at all and white smoke coming from the exhaust, it had been driving fine before no strange noises or anything, anyone got any ideas?

Take the connecting pipes off the turbo then feel the shafts for play, more likely you will have some and even possibly a broken shaft or blown seals.

If it is the turbo then yes.

New will set you back around the £700 mark, good recon/reman about £350-400, both plus fitting but not too hard to diy if you are able.

I just paid 912 for brand new original.
Beware recon turbo as I was sold a cheap Chinese model pretending to be reconditioned Borg. Warner.
