james_60 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Without sounding more dumb than iam but what is plat Does it derive from using veg oil instead of diesel Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 There needs to be a small ammount of Play in the shaft , i would be looking for a split hose or seal.I was once told that when wife had a Peugeot 1.4 turbo diesel had bad knocking , they advised me that the turbo had gone , i searched all other options Then i brought a new turbo and fitted it ,:( It wasn't the turbo at all it was a seal on the inlet side of things , £350 .They said it had failed because of too much play , the brand new replacement was exactly the same play in it. Always get a second opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry_ Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 WOW - now thats a grown up response!!!! Seriously dude, take a chilli pill - reading your post im like whats plat?? Now i assume that Preee guessed you meant "play" but i wouldn't of guessed that and guess neither did Jamie. Good luck getting advice and help with that attitude!!!

Barry_ Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Good man B) This a constant whistle, not just the whistle/whine it does when it kicks in or whines down?? No expert in turbos (not got a clue where it even is LOL) but i would guess like what Preee said there maybe a slight split in a pipe or something - have a really good look if you can - expect if there is a little split that it ain't going to be easy to spot either - guess its sucking in air causing the whistling sound.
