I've a volvo s40 1.9d 115bhp.

Got the turbo replaced on it a month ago (almost new, no shaft play at all), Car was running great / pulling well.

I noticed yesterday that 1st gear was extremely laggy, Took it for a spin up the motorway, felt a bit odd.

Turbo is now making a weird noise, It won't boost properly. I have checked the intercooler and turbo pipes and all is good.

There is not one bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust (engine was totally rebuilt before christmas)

I would have thought if the turbo was on its way out there would have been lots of smoke coming out of exhaust but there isn't.

Is there anything else that i could check on the car?

Thanks for reading


Alan
