listy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 My dad posted this on Facebook, but I don't know enough to help much. Anyone got any ideas on what the problem could be? I asked and he said there was no bang, so hoping the turbo isn't too bad. "Horrible deep resonance at 3000rpm. Always had resonance at 300rpm, 2300rpm. Eliminated all the simple cheap easy possible causes. Now there is a hot oil smell and an oil leak from below the turbo bearing." Further to this, it turns out the oil return feed is leaking. Its a Garrett .gt20 turbo on a 2000 plate disco. Am I correct in saying for a replacement, any Garrett .gt20 turbo is fine? It wouldn't have to come from .LR as they charge an arm and a leg.

dan294 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It'll be a 2.5 TD5 engine probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Think the BM engine is the TD4. 2.0 derv's in the LR freelanders. They've got a crank case breather filter in the top of the cam/rocker cover that clog up. Gives a "moosing" type noise, smoke their nuts off and leak everywhere.

Guest ugp Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hole in the intercooler? Mine rotted away, so a FMIC fitted and a remap, hello 210hp, it's a hoot to drive now too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 2000 will be a td5 engine you can pickup a new turbo from a motor factor at a good price. normally they do smoke and loose power when the turbo fails if you are just getting a noise then look for a boost leak check all pipes.

It's not a boost leak that's been ruled out with a smoke test. Never thought to ask if he has blue smoke. What a muppet lol. He's in Finland so unfortunately can't look myself. I'll keep trying to get more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
