Hi all I've a 62 plate 2.2 CDTI which has been spraying water out from behind the turbo like niagara falls. Impossible to locate the problem with the turbo in, so the lot has had to come out. I've found what looks like a hole designed to hold some sort of plug which looks very much like the culprit.(pic

Many thanks, Stewart

There are different suppliers for the Antara turbo. Since only you know which turbo is fitted, you'd be well advised to check out the manufacturers repair and overhaul kits to see if a core plug is included.

Thanks, Victor. I've trailed round some turbo specialists this morning and nobody has thr plug. Nor does it appear in any of the repair kits I've found. So, it's bite the bullet and get a new turbo time.
