If the turbo in a Ford Transit packs in will engine still be OK to drive?


I am planning on buying a 1998 Ford transit 2.5 turbo, diesel camper and I am worried about a whining sound that seems to be coming from the turbo. The turbo is not important to me as I don't plan on driving that fast, but if it fails will the engine still be OK?

This whining sound is not too loud and is only heard when the vechile is idling, not when you rev up.

NB.. There is only about 50000 miles on the clock.

Thanks in advance.

all i can tell you is that i had a ford f350 and when the turbo went out,i could hardley get the truck to move,it had no power at all

is revving a turbo car bad? causing compressor surge?


friend of mine says that revving a turbo car creates compressure surge and is bad for the bearings in teh turbo. i was just wondering this, cuz i don't know too much about them

Revving is not good for any car. With turbo, there is an oil pressure drop and the poor thing is spinning at 50,000 plus rpms, which could "grenade" it quickly any time you let off the throttle.
