The repair was good , Kia Sorento 2.5 crdi , it's a car with a good service history , the last service was done by myself(1800 miles ago) I am very good on the spanners . The service exchange turbo was replaced by myself , all pipe work and inter cooler taken off and cleaned ,all new gaskets . Oil and filter changed and left to run on tick over until upto temp , oil and filter changed again , new fuel and air filter fitted , oil flow and return to turbo checked fresh water and anti freeze and flow of that checked aswel . Car had 2 adult and 2 children towing Avondale eagle . It was all well under its 1500kg , it towed great for 51 miles. Come to a long pull up a hill on the A55 towards Queensferry started to struggle on the hill . Stopped at services after the junction checked oil and water no hot brakes nothing stuck on .
Left services on slip road loads of smoke and a run away engine , stalled engine and phoned rac ,
The turbo was shot bearings had gone . I put this down oil starvation .
