Turbo Whine Focus

24 July 2012 - 07:02 PM

I have a 2006 Focus 1.8TDCi LX, I recently developed a split in the Longest of the Intercooler pipes causing a Hiss on boost. I replaced the pipe, I now have a Loud whining noise when the Turbo kicks in.

The only way to describe this sound is "Fan belt Squeal", Power is not restricted, No smoke from back end, Its just a really horrible noise which turns heads.
12 hours of "Googling" brings up Turbo Bearing may be failing, or lack of oil.

Ford want £90 per hour, and £1300 for a new turbo
Any Ideas or experiences would be much appreciated
