Blown Turbo

The tow bill will be a lot cheaper than an overhaul if you drive it and pieces break off the fins and get into the engine. They will also wind up stuck in the aftercooler. I would try to determine exactly what happened before I drove it anywhere. A service call in the morning might be a good investment.

 

where you broke down at? what city? maybe we can give you some leads with good shops..

 

maybe someone else can chime in. Don't go that far.

You broke the shaft in the turbo. Oil is being pumped into the aftercooler when you run the engine. STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't drive it!

If you push to much oil into the aftercooler it will run off...........when this happens you will blow up the engine.

The white smoke is both unburnt fuel and oil.........oil is being sprayed into the exhaust housing of the turbo and trying to burn in the exhaust pipe after the turbo

 

If you get the metal from the Turbo in your engine, you are screwed. I would tow it.

 

I would take Mr Haney's advice. He is one of the best wrenches on this forum and knows of what he speaks. Better a few hundred on tow than $10k to rebuild engine.

 

I would take ten minutes and pull clamps off both sides of the turbo(rubber boot for intake and the v-clamp for the exhaust) so you can see what happened and where the oil is going. If you have oil pumping into the intake towards the Charge air cooler and a bunch of wasted fins on the turbo, you should not drive or run. You do not want to suck metal into the motor or fill charge air cooler with oil.....big mess.

Chances are that if you blew the turbo it will be obvious looking in each end and physically lifting up and down on turbine shaft to check for play.
