Hello. I´ve got a 2008 1.6crdi 116hp i30. My problem is a whining noise from the turbo, it has been there since i bought it 2,5 years ago, but its beginning to get a lot worse.I´m a mechanic apprentice but don´t have a lot of knowledge about turbos yet. So my question is: Is there anything i can do besides replacing the turbo?Here´s a video link where you can hear the sound video-1555178885 - StreamableBest regards Jonathan
Mine made that noise, I fitted a new Melett turbo cartridge and then it still made pretty much the same noise!In the last 4 years since fitting the cartridge it has performed fine and does not use any oil.My advice is to keep driving it but keep a close eye on your engine oil level, just in case.
It did not need a turbo, initially it was quiet but then the noise re-appeared.Car performs well so I just left it and 4 years on still working 100%

Thanks for the input
