Picked mine up yesterday afternoon
noise is gone and car is smooth and much quieter.
Auto Alpina Isando sorted it for me.
Got to to do the alignment as well which costed more than the pulley and vbelt which motorplan paid for.

Howzit guys, so the dealership contacted me. New Turbo needed.
The turbo should be there tomorrow and hoping to get the car back tomorrow afternoon. They are also checking my air filter and loading the latest gearbox software.

my turbo makes the same sound when cold..but was more audible in winter..once warmed it goes away..my dealer tells me theres nothing wrong with it..I do find it odd how different dealers come to different conclusions about problems..I do have a vid clip..gonna figure out how to make it smaller and upload it

The thing is I have no idea how the previous owner drove the car, don't think he did the warming up and cooling down procedure .
Well I showed the service advisor the post Twincam Shark posted and he attached it to the job card so I'm sure they looked at the belt and pully first.
So far I'm impressed with the Service department at Boksburg.

yup that's pretty normal, if it didn't sound like that I would be worried as it probably means they put a miniscule turbo in your car and wrapped it up with some serious heat resistant tape to sound proof the thing!
If they replace the turbo with a brand new turbo I recon it will be quite for a few days or weeks as everything is still stiff and needs to be run in and loosen up but once its all run in and running smoothly I recon the little cold spin up sound will be back...such an awesome sound! love hearing my turbo spool and dump!

thanx osiris...just checkin for last minute things to be done before MP quits on me in 3 months..so far this year theyv replaced the diff, bluetooth control unit, glow plugs+glow plug control unit, reconditioned the tranny, drivers side window mechanism and gotten a new battery ..less worries goin off MP..the turbo's got around 30 000 km's on it since last replacement when the actuator got very noisy..and I always warm up and let her cool down when starting and switching off.. :rollsmile: now at least I don't have to worry bout the turbo..in the clip thats the loudest it gets..I took the clip around the time it snowed in JHB..
