Hi Guys, advice more than anything please. I’ve had my golf estate With 2.0tdi BMM engine for almost 4 years, done 60,000 miles and pretty much all that time I’ve heard a turbo whine / faint howl. I keep checking for play in the shaft everytimw I drop the oil out ( around 6,000 miles). There’s a very small amount of play which hasn’t got any worse since I’ve owned the car. I maybe worrying over nothing but I have some big trips coming up this year with each trip covering 2-3,000 miles.
Would you guys recommend stripping the turbo, possibly replacing the turbo cartridge and cleaning the vanes or leave well alone? I also use liqui moly oil additive every oil change.
Do I just need to accept the whine is normal and keep going or is it the start of imminent failure? ?
Thanks everyone ?
