AA have just been out and reckon either a turbo has blown or it is a sticking EGR Valve.

The Recovery Truck Driver thinks that a seal has gone on an oil feeder pipe to the turbo rather than the turbo blowing up.

I have decided to replace with remanufactured turbos which brings the cost down to £2K. |
