Re: Diesel turbo
The cost is going to depend on the service provider and what they find when they open it up but the marina should be asking them some basic questions so they can at least give you some idea of what to expect providing they don't find major defects along the way. The causes of the failure vary and can be anything from the lack of regular maintenance and cleaning, poor quality or contaminated or old oil, too much oil, foreign matter and dirt, high temps, running conditions, etc. The wastegate may have failed first and caused a turbo overspeed condition which caused the seal to fail, though that usually happens at high rpm, hard to say...too many variables. A close inspection may reveal the cause. The good news is that it could have been a lot worse, it could have been a major turbo failure $$$.
What kind of engine are we talking about?
