E320 CDi making a strange sound

[E320_CDi]

Guys - I have a W reg 2000 E320 which has just recently started to make a strange sound from the engine compartment. I'm not sure if its the turbo or the manifold, or what. The car isn;t making the usual roar sound when I drive. I can't hear it when I'm driving or cruising, its when I accelerate to change gear or put my foot down, u can also hear it when the engine is revved, it sort sounds like whoooosh. Any help / advice would be appreciated. thanks

Hi, Does the car seem down on power? if so could be the hose from the turbo to the intercooler as come adrift, cheers dave

Turbo housing broken, pipe now adrift, or could have let go on the intercooler end, one costs a lot the other is cheaper!!

I presume the turbo housing is the most expensive.

I'm not really a mechanic, is the intercooler down by the turbo, and the pipe which may be a drift, is that also down there.

When u say, costs a lot, is it 100s or 1000s.




thanks

Intercooler is in front of the radiator, low down.

Have a look for oily deposits, best clue for where the woosh is coming from.

Youll need a mech to take a look,it may need to have a pressure test on the turbo system if the leak isnt obvious.
