Hi all, Whilst driving tonight, my car started making a quiet whistling noise when accelerating. This was complemented by a noise which sounded like an air vent blowing out extra air when accelerating also. On the way back from where I went, this noise stopped but so did a lot of the power in the car. On a downhill I could just about get to 70 but on an uphill I was struggling to hit 50 and having to drop down to 3rd gear to do so. It just felt like all ooomph has gone from the car. My car is a 2009 Skoda Fabia hatchback 1.4 diesel (TDI I think the term is). Any help/advice would be appreciated! Thanks, CE

Sounds like your turbo is fcked. Whistling and loss of power are classic symptoms.
Nope it's not my name |

Sorry to say it aint cheap. Possibly a grand +. If you have a warranty try that.

Something to look forward to then! Is there any chance it could just be something like an air hose not connecting or something or am I really clutching at straws here?!

I had this problem (loss of power) in a Mercedes B Class Turbo Diesel a few years ago. It is down to a motor that opens / closes a valve. Normally on a Merc or BMW this will cost around a grand which includes labour! Good luck!

I hate diesels ...I've had two and the turbos went on both models when they were out of warranty (Vauxhall 4 years and Nissan 5 years). Thought I was just unlucky with the first one but having been twice bitten I would never entertain another.
