magnus satis quod turpis satis

i had a RRS mapped 30k miles not an issue
had 2 other TDv8's not an issue standard

have / had a sdv6 4k miles lunched turbo and engine , not mapped.

Seems that engine failures on this lot always relates to Turbo failure , which then causes engine failure, maybe the Turbo is the culprit not the engine, Look at what happened years ago when BMW had a mass of TD failures on the 320D Far to many gone...

I read this thread with a squeeky bumhole

As a result...map removed - if I want a speedy getaway I'll buy another Caterham again.... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Oh dear I want to buy a FF sometime this year and having heard the woes of the gearbox problems with Td6 models, I had convinced myself to spend a bit more and get a TdV8, now Im getting the jitters about that model with the turbo/engine issues. What to do ?………..

reading a forum is like getting a headache and googling "headaches"....by the time you finish reading about your terminal headache it's very scary... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Sometimes it is like reading the medical journal, it does not make you a happy man.
Wish you Strength Stephen

Thanks guys... You'll all be glad to know a replacement engine was not necessary in the end

Turbo blown up (overspeeding) becoming more common, when one EGR fails and the car is driven for a while with intermittent misfire symptoms. EGR gets replaced and "voila" the turbo self destructs very soon after (due to the earlier "overspeed"), resulting in hydrolocking the engine with its own oil! At very low road speed this was fine and did not cause engine damage but i do here of many that bent con rods...

Guys, make sure you A, get EGR's changed quickly (as soon as they fault) and B, get them changed as a pair, when you do...

What are EGR's?

Wow, thanks and they grow in pairs ... Now I understand

Would this be wortg doing as a preventative measure? Or is it silly pricey/difficult. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Here's what they look like Robert.

V8's have two, my TD6 had only one before I removed it.

i think the two on the tdv8 are different and arent that easy to blank.. ... - .- -.

I wasn't suggesting they're the same Stan, apart from in principle.

They let a lot of dirty gunge into your engine.
