BBA Reman refurbish bsi units - i was quoted 125 for mine to be fixed - might be worth a try !!??

if i were you i would change the oil and filter, block off the egr valve and leave it plugged in, and just so i could sleep at night - id change the turbo oil feed pipe and remove the gauze at the bottom of the feed pipe. i would also go down the route of getting the dpf deleted from the system as they are an even bigger pain on these engines. I had a 1.6 and everything seemed to go at once - clutch - fixed, dpf - deleted, finally the turbo went (92k) which i rebuilt and put back on along with new sump inlet pipe , oil feed, etc to no avail, as the oil galleries were blocked. if you want this engine to last change the oil every 6k and do the above - or at least start to !!

mental note to wipe the exhaust of all soot before mot time - thanks !!

I too have a 2005 VTR mk2 estate that i have clogging my driveway, its a 1.6 hdi with a rebuilt turbo, new oil feed pipe, but with oil galleries still clogged so it wont spin, plus the impeller nut needs tightening slightly more if it were to spin. The DPF has been emptied of its blockage and is a hollow pipe. I now have a 2.0 hdi exclusive which i am happy with (apart from a couple of things which i will post about). Anyways if anyone is looking for any bits at all please DM me and i will get back to you. Thanks Paul
