Also check that the brakes are not sticking. A slightly sticking caliper can cause judder. Check if warm after a drive.

Turbos just don't fail every day of the week, it's like everything else mechanical, it's unlucky if it happens to you

OK

Problem is the availabilty and pricing of the 4.4. Most V8 diesels are 3.6 in Norway.

......back to my question. Is IT possible to change the turbos with the engine in the car?

I am dreaming about buying a TDV8 however the turbo issues scares me a bit. Can the turbos be replaced with the engine in the car? Can it be done by a skilled hobby mechanic??
