Jimbo Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 HI, As this is my first post, I would like to say Hi to everyone. I have just brought a diesel escort 18 TD (as a runabout), and would like to know how to check if my turbo is working as it should. I have had diesel turbo cars before and normally you would hear a whistle or something, my escort should I say does a whooosh! not sure if this is leaking, or if this is how it should be. Not having a 1800 before, not sure about the performance. I know something is laking as I understand that a standard diesel (no turbo) normally goes from 0-60 in about 3 months. My escort well feels to be that long. Any suggestions? Thanks Jimbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 welcome to FOC Normally with diesel turbos you should feel a slight boost at about 3000 revs or so. If you do not feel the kick and just a woosh noise then it could well be leaking, have you checked all the pipework for splits or loose connections?
