Hi Guys,

I recently bought a Ulysse 03 2.2 70K Miles and till today no problems.

I had a trouble experience this morning, the turbo went silent for 1/3 of a mile and after everything went back to normal. Any Idea? :confused:

Is the turbo meant to make a lot of noise ?

Thank you for your help.
 
How do you know it's the turbo making a noise?
Can't say I notice my one being noisy.
If yours is maybe it has a fault and the silent period was it being ok.
 
When starting from cold and driving with the window down I can hear my turbo spin up but this is only for a mile or so until the engine starts to warm up.
 
Hi Guys, thank you for your reply.

The noise is laud even with the windows closed.

Anyway, problem sorted, the turbo died on friday :cry:and now i am looking to find out the life expectancy of a turbo. The car has go t 71600 Mi. I have done only 800mi since the purchasing.

any help on the matter appreciate.

Thank you
 
Sounds like early bearing failure, hope it had good quality oil put in at every service and on time?

Bad luck that, and expensive too I bet .
 
Is the faulty be related to wear & Tear or Faulty part?
I am not an expert in cars (another planet :)) . what is the life expectancy of a turbo?

100000 miles ( more or less)

the job will cost 1500 @ fiat. The problem is, my insurance wont cover if it is wear and tear. What i am trying to find out is how often do you change one?

Please help
