as some of you will know my synergie hdi blew it's turbo 4 weeks ago . since then it failed it's mot and then had problems with the engine electronics which resulted in a few new sensors needed. following that up last saturday the egr valve jammed open due to the new turbo overboosting.
just to add insult to injury while remedying the last problem oil was found on the surface of the coolant in the expansion tank . after testing a reading of 8% oil was found in the coolant which means the headgasket is leaking slightly. not looking forward to the bill as the engine has to be dropped out to remove the head.
keep an eye on your turbo's because when they go they can do more damage than you think:
