Hi,

I got back from a 10 mile round trip yesterday and noticed a smell of burning. When I opened the bonnet I found a small amount of smoke coming from the area of the turbo and a strong smell of burning. The car seems to be running fine with no loss of power.

I'm worried that the turbo might be on the way out? Could I make the damage worse by driving 5 miles to my local mechanic or should I get a tow for safety's sake?

If it is the turbo are recon units available and how much are they?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave
