These arent such bad engines. If maintanance'd well there's no problems with it. Offcourse people drive 40k km on the same oil... Your own fault. I Repair ALOT of these. Suprisingly these engine's r not claustrophobic inside. So if they do break down, its almost always fixable :) Cant say that for the VAG tdi's with damaged (worn out) heads and big hole's in the engine block. Anyway always remove the Filter in the Trubo oil line it will do no harm at all. Crappy englisch sry :P
There's a service bulletin out for the oil feed pipe. It's got a mesh or filter on it at the end that screws into the block. You're supposed to remove it.
@peppersdog1 It's not a bad engine. The turbocharger suffers oil starvation because of shyte oil (virtually all "synthetic"/"fully synthetic" oil are just hydrocracked mineral base stock instead of a PAO fully synthetic, most people are clueless about this), long oil change intervals on shyte oil and oil screen, mesh or filter on the end of the turbocharger oil feed line that screw into the block.
There's a similar problem with Turbocharged Subarus & they have a service bulletin out as well.
I have given the engine two oil flushes using forte and in total changed the oil six times in six days to totally remove any crap,I then have used some quantum 3 5/30 oil and some forte oil attitive and fingers crossed the turbo will last.
@tomostrash Turbo failure is strange how so how is the progress of this car I have a 307 hdi 2007, walking about 257 810 km without any problem only volont moteur jealousy You are either very strange and perhaps not hang you because the only things simple. I understood that what I say * Thank you

@tomostrash Similar issue with subbies. Don't know if they have problems with the same turbocharger supplier or model.
