Did my turbo just fail

I think my turbo on the 320d just blew :thumbdo:

The car feels absolutely flat and there's thick smoke coming out of the exhaust, it sounds a bit funny as well :fencelook:

The mileage is only 41000kms :nonono:

That's rare for that mileage. I think there's a few guys here running E90- 320d's above 200K KM on original turbos and even some of the models above 100K KM are modded too. Sounds very weird that it gave up at such low mileage (assuming it is the turbo).

Surely that there won't be "Thick cloud of white smoke"? :thinking:

Picked my car up, new turbo and a few other parts replaced :rollsmile:

Dealers still don't know what caused the turbo to go :nonono:
