OK, my turbo is shot. I found a replacement turbo for a good price and I'm going to fix it myself. It smokes quite a bit when I first attempt to accelerate and I'm worried about damaging the cat.

Should I drive it home from the shop? Or, should I have it towed?

 

Flat bed it my friend.

 

no doubt have that towed

 

How many miles are on your turbo?

 

unless ur putting a new cat in as well, i wouldnt risk it.

 

if you keap low RPMs Then would go, like 1500-2000 RPM tops. so its all up to you. the car should not rich out. also if turbo is physically shot then I would flat bad it but if it just dont spull up or somethng I do not see the harm. also it depends how far too, my mech is bout 15 min away from me sooooo.

 

It's being towed now.

 

good choice, no need risking more damage to ur car

 

I never liked turbos and I just bought a new DTi today I'm going to send it back and get petrol engine "seriously" I sold the Citroen DT for a profit so using the jag for now I think ill go for the A6

 

only joking though the diesel is fantastic very impressed
