What Just Happened?!

[Musky]

Hey guys,

today something odd happened, I was driving on the highway and the engine chek light flickered a couple of times, didn't take much notice. Then I was just cruising on the highway for a good 40 mins, got off highway, took a couple of turns and then as I turned into another street all of a sudden there was a very loud knocking and the car was lagging so I pulled over and the noise continued. Turned car off, back on, sound still there and it sounded like something rattled through my exhaust. Left car and did some shit for a few hours, bak at car drove away(knocking sound has gone) and realized the turbo was not spooling and there was no induction noise so I'm thinking turbo is rooted. Got home, shit, showered, shaved and got bak into car, knocking sound still not there but now the turbos spooling and it seems everything is bak to normal? It's doing my head in! Anyone got ideas?

sounds like turbo is gone, probably OK when the oil is cold and thick, but when it warms up and thins out your turbo bearings induce freeplay.

Get your turbo checked out, and get a compression test done [just to be sure you haven't done any damage in the motor.

The engine check light is the one that blinks on and off when your pinging/knocking, you could have damaged a piston?

I have a had a turbo do this.
