Well it happend

Post by split196 »

Well the turbo blew on our '06 Baja last week :shock: . After taking to the nearest garage to only sit there 3 days until the guy finally decided 'No sorry I have never worked on one of those'...so we had it towed AGAIN !

The symptoms were:

Very light smoke on idle at a stop after a few seconds (very similar to worn valve issues) this was happening for a few weeks
Then about 5 mins before failure I had a very little squeak under the hood at motorway speed
When it went while I was on surface streets at 35mph
Loud screeching and grinding and only on throttle depression not idle revs once I pulled over.
Realizing what it was I turned of the engine
also throwing a error code of p0011

This is the curse of tax season I suppose lol, every year something without fail takes your tax return if you had plans for it lol
