First time I had any mechanical problems with the engine (1.9jtd cargo).
Basically noticed the acceleration had gone but the top speed is the still there and a top end tapping sound after about 1500-2000rpm. I'd guess the turbo has failed but not sure about the tapping sound which is more like valve or cam type noises. There is no smoke or oil problems from the exhaust.
Anybody out there can confirm the sound of a failed turbo or had a similiar problem who can shed any light?
Cheers, Franc
