White smoke indicates coolant. It could be through the EGR cooler. ______________________________

Thanks for the response but there is oil coming out of the nearside exhaust, its at indies now and he will be looking in the morning , iid tool had a few engine fault , one being manifild pressure low so i think a seal has gone and allowing oil into turbo. Have a price of 400 to get turbo reconditioned. 2015 4.4 AB

Euros? Oil seal sounds right. ______________________________

Hi , yes euros and they use quality parts so will get both done. Turbo shop has offered to test both but i think i will get both done either way.

Seems to be conflicting advice on best way to get to turbos but mechanic is about to start so we will see what he considers best. 2015 4.4 AB

Engine drop is easiest and quickest I believe.

Subframe off and support the engine from the top

Mechanic just called , he took.engine out and left hand turbos.main shaft has broken in two-pieces. Front part still in turbo housing and rear part had fallen into exhaust. 2015 4.4 AB

That's interesting. I have heard of it happening, but not on a RRV. It's a lot better for bits to flow into the exhaust than into the pots. I wonder why this happened. So i assume you are still rebuilding the turbos, as you would be replacing the impellers, surely. ______________________________

Hi, yes , both turbos being rebuilt tomorrow, car has 233000 kilometres on it so maybe wear and tear, car is remapped but i dont drive it that hard , i have a new oil feed pipe to be fitted as well. Typical , i was to view a 4.4 ab in clonmel yesterday. Last car i had was a 320 cls and i had for 6 years without a bulb blowning and the day i collected the FF it broke down costing over a grand to repair. Such is life 2015 4.4 AB

Just an update , turbos in for rebuild and second ( non broken ) turbo had a lot of carbon build up and oil seal / ring was weeping so rebuild was in order.

Just visited car at mechanics and wish i hadn't, its looking very sorry for itself  2015 4.4 AB

Was the carbon build up on the hot or cold side of the turbo? ______________________________
