Hi,
looking for some advice on a hot starting problem on my sisters 2004 1.8TD Focus. The turbo went on it and was replaced by a mechanic friend of hers.
The starter does not sound right when it turns over and is making a loud whirring noise. It sounds like the cam timing is out.
Thing that has got me scratching my head is once it does start it runs fine. Ticks over with no juddering and drives as it should coming on boost ok.
Would it still run ok if the belt had slipped a tooth.
I was wondering if it had ingested some of the old turbo damaging the valves, but I would think you would get lumpy tickover.
Anyone had experience of these.
