running on engine oil?
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:06 am
I am posting this on behalf of a friend who's had some engine trouble.
The turbo had stopped working so he had another fitted. The original had broken inside but all the pieces were there.
After starting the car with the replacement on it was fine, until they revved it a little. The engine kept on revving by itself, going up to max rpm's. They tried to stop it by switching off the key, witch didn't work. I think he said he even took the cable off the battery is despair, but it was still going. It was screaming for two minutes or so then slowly came down and stopped.
Replacement turbo taken off, and that's broken inside with metal and oil everywhere. The internet site wants another 200 to send another turbo (original cost about 350 I think) as they don't accept any responceability.
Anything else he can try apart from scraping it, its a frontier 2.2 d but 11 years old
