Just witnessed a Fabia Turbo blow-up

jasc1988 · 01-05-2008, 16:59

Was the funniest thing ive seen in years......

The guy has hassled me for years and today came racing up behind me overtook me and POP

, black / grey smoke everywhere - couldnt see a thing.

I was pissing myself with laughter, dont think ive ever laughed as hard in my life, my cheeks are all red

Didnt realise a blown turbo gave off that much reek

When mine went it shot impeller into the cat, which means it went through the cylinder....

Made a great noise

Organist · 01-05-2008, 17:34

That's funny - what car was it?

Taxi 219 · 01-05-2008, 17:38

Off topic here a bit and i appologise for it.When i sed to be a bus driver we had a Volvo B10 bus that had the turbo blow on that on a dual carriageway and god did that smoke.They had to shut the road and call the fire brigade because they thought it was on fire

but just plumes of oil smoke.

Much the same, it was like an explosion

followed by an explosion of laughter

**mannyo** · 01-05-2008, 18:53

The smoke and bang are also the same symptoms of a hose coming off the turbo, particularly likely if on boost at the time.

Lummox · 01-05-2008, 19:06

Yeah i would say he probably popped a boost hose.

It's satisfying when *that* guy gets his comeuppances. I remember being overtaken by some pratt in a BMW convertible. Only to see him having a few words with a police officer a few laybys down the road. Great fun.

Was an awefull smell too, and oil everywhere

vRS Dovit · 01-05-2008, 22:39

The smell was probably from his pants! lol

national · 01-05-2008, 22:41

My best was an Alfa Romeo driven brand new on red and white plates, tailgated me across the Tay bridge heading south, then it becomes a dual carriageway, I took off in the near side lane, he in the outside lane when suddenly loads of smoke, he came to a standstill with hazards on :-)

Second was a Civic all kitted up but I think S reg, ran up my *** pulled out and whilst alongside bang white and black smoke from bonnet and tail pipe
from what I could see under his baseball cap he looked quite sick

I would have compassion for a fellow VRS though

Probably a headdy concoction of the 2!

Wardy · 01-05-2008, 22:48

So have you found out whether the turbo has properly failed, or whether it's a simple case of a blown pipe?
