I have a 1.9 03 Laguna DCI and I believe the turbo is blown.
The car has 108,000 miles on the clock and I have had it since new.
At 54.000 miles the engine blew up, revved its head off, smoke, would not turn off etc, etc. Renault paid the whole cost of the repair. New engine, new intercooler, turbo etc, etc. £7000 worth. That was in about 2007/08.
Now 50,000 miles later the turbo has blown and yes I have been a bit casual with servicing, my bad.
My question is should I bother replacing the turbo or is there a good chance it will have done a lot more damage.
The turbo whine increased in noise a few weeks ago and now it only does 50 mph and makes a hell of a noise when I try to accelerate. It starts fine and still ticks over lovely.
Any advice ?
