Hi guys,
Just need advise on my family car , it’s clocked 252 000 km, a few months ago I notice a little oil coming from inter cooler into the plastic engine cover and was told not to worry as the turbo does leak a little oil. Notice last week it has increased and notice oil leak under the car. Took it to a local mechanic who said it looks like it’s coming from the turbo and most likely might need the turbo changed. He said he wouldn’t touch it and to take it to a diesel mechanic. Does anyone know any honest diesel mechanic in the Epping area in Melbourne. I have been told over the phone it could cost 2 to 3 k.
Car has been running fine before this no major issues, any experts at these km is it worth fixing ? Or being high km will other things most likely follow?
Any advice would be great
No expert here. Just a n opinion. It's a 10 year old car. 250k on the clock. Does it sound to you it will have escalating problems? I would simply get rid of it.
