turbo leaking

[lobatt]

Hi all,
Had a 308 1.6hdi sport since April last year (2008 model), noticed over the last 4-5 months soot appearing round the top/side of the turbo casing, visited the dealer for a routine service and asked the question and had them look at it, they were non-commital as regards to a problem and they tightened a clamp where they thought the leak was. This didn't solve it and once again had it looked at by the dealer, also explaining that if I rev the engine with the bonnet up, you can see soot blow from the turbo into the air. they had it back and had another look, after a month the soot is still settling on the engine. It bothers me, should I be worried? Peugoet warranty runs out soon so would like to know if i'm heading towards problems. javascript:add("%20???")

BTW the car pulls well.

Any thoughts? thanks in advance

Oh aye, looks like you're losing some exhaust gas there. Definitely not right.

What do you mean by the car "pulls". The 308 is quite camber sensitive and will drift with the camber, which means on the bulk of UK roads it requires just a gentle touch to stop it wandering off to the left. Probably nowt to worry about.

Thanks for your comment, what I really meant was there seems to be no loss of power. I don't seem to suffer from the pull to the left problem but I am aware of it.

Ta for now

is it likely to get worse, and could it affect the emissions for the mot?
