Turbo gone ?

#1 by ellyseelliott ( Guest ) , Fri Feb 16, 2018 1:15 pm

I have a 2005 k74 l200 , driving along Monday on the motorway doing about 60 a ton of white smoke started chucking out from my exhuast and engine 😩 i turnt the truck off straight away and rolled over to the verge got recovered to home , once home had a look about and oil has gone everywhere possible all over my engine.
Started taking things apart to have a look to see what had happened and there is oil all in my inlet and flooding out my turbo.
I was thinking it’s my turbo that had died so have ordered a new one to check if it’s that before I start taking the engine apart as I’m thinking I’ve blown a piston if not 😒
Has anyone else had this before or knows what the problem could be ?

yes. Either turbo or piston ring gone. My bet will be turbo though so change that. Clean everything out and test. Make sure you do clean the intercooler by running a hose through it for a while. Mich still be smokey for a while as thete will be oil in the exhaust aswell.
