Hey girls and guys

OK so I'm having big problems with a turbo issue.

My current turbo's on its way out. The bearings are gone and blades scraping the housing. So I need a new turbo. However, cannot find one.

My questions are as follows
* is there any other turbo that would fit my engine*?

* where could I find a replacement for my turbo? I don't want to spend much more than £200

* is there a cheap fix for my current turbo?

* if there is anyone in or near Weston-super-Mare that could help me, would you?

Thanks in advance for all help

Jack

* Engine = 2.2 DTi (Y22DTH or DTR)

Try turbotechnics in northants

I'd of said buy yourself a rebuild kit. Usually more reliable on the diesels but since you've left it so long you won't get away with it now!
Surely there's a breaker or 2nd hand one floating about?!

BTW, one question you must ask - WHY did your turbo go in the first place? How many miles had it covered?!
The way turbos are designed is so they never go unless pushed beyond usual limits or they're out of balance...

Judging by what you've said about the blades spiking off the compressor walls I'd say your oil seals are shot too so all your air intake pipes will be full of oil and need draining/flushing out. Also all sensors and breathers will need flushing... The joys of turbos!! 

Then again, you may already know all this and I may be waffling on for nothing!!

Good luck either way, Pedro

The chappy who had the omega before me ran it for a while with little oil, this is why it happened. Thanks for the help though :-) I'm just about to call some breakers.

I *might* have a brand new turbo here that I could let you have.  We'd need to check the numbers stamped on them to confirm.

It would be a bit more than £200 though.

Can't argue with Brand New!!
