So, while driving the speed3 to go skiing this weekend, I suddenly noticed a high pitched whining or vibrating. It was windy, and I was going around seventy, so for the first 10-15 seconds I thought it might have been the windshield wipers vibrating fast in the wind. I looked back, noticed a lot of smoke, and noticed the car was missing power.
Pulled over, had it towed. The smoke was extremely thick and white, I'll have to get some pictures posted. I assume the turbo is blown, and so does the shop that I towed it to. I know other people have had smoking turbo problems. Is that the same as myblown turbo? Has anyone reading this had this problem? They quoted me 2500 to fix it, but have said:
1. They aren't yet 100% sure that is the problem, and
2. They can't guarantee yet that there isn't some turbo bits in the engine.
Its an 07 with 91k miles. Any advice on how I should proceed?
