Sorry to hear the news Kevin. Not good.

It’s odd you didn’t get an oil light warning as you say.

You can put reconditioned turbos on instead of new Genuine if that’s what they’re quoting

Clarkes have had bad luck with recon turbo's Rob and because it is such a big job they only recommend using genuine new ones.

also, does an Oil Light come on by chance if I am very low on oil ?? ( 2011 TDV8 car )
Low oil would give a low oil pressure warning in some circumstances but AFAIK the oil level has to be checked and there is no actual low level warning. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

What was the root cause though? When was the oil last changed? Did the garage not put the correct amount in? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I do all my own oil changes every 3-4000 miles with a genuine filter and up to now used Shell helix.
It couldn't be that I've just put in some Smith and Allen oil 1000 miles ago, surely not!
Everybody panic!!!

The wrong oil wouldn't damage a turbo unless it was in there for a very extended period of time. The root cause probably won't be known until the turbo's are out and torn down and the damage may have been done long before you had it. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thing is Jaygee it has never smoked at all, just the last few weeks. And like I've said it has never used a drop of oil between changes.

"Today I had a sound similar to a stone being rattled in a tin can and then a puff of smoke from the exhaust." - just read this from the start of the thread. This sounds also like something could have got ingested into the turbo from the intake side. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Sorry to hear the bad news Kev, not good especially after seeing your car and the superb condition you keep the car in. Sounds like everything was ok and then the turbo threw it's hand in. As for the above post, it 'may' have ingested something. In my work when turbochargers fail it's with little or no warning, because of the high speed once the bearing starts to go things happen quickly.

At least you already have a garage where they know what they are doing, we 'recon' turbo's, but it's a different ball game due to the sizes and number of parts involved.

Hope all goes well
Rob

Thanks Rob. Obviously I won't drive it till it's fixed because I'm worried it could block the DPF. On the test run it still goes like Joe Stink with no noises but more like Joe Smoke now!

If the turbo spindle is now out of balance having taken a hit or lost parts of vanes then the seals will likely leak oil even if the seals haven't been damaged.
