Can you post an image?
Can you hear loud wooshing noises?
Can you wiggle it?
CEL illuminated?

 

You mean the exhaust manifold? Or the long pipe that connects the turbo output to the intake manifold?

thanks for replying. its where it attaches to the exhaust manifold. no cel, no loud whooshing sound, rather its a loud engine noise and I can see where the turbo has come off the manifold. there is nothing to wiggle, the turbo unit has separated about 2mm from the exhaust manifold.

 

I can also feel the exhaust gas coming out of the gap, no idea what caused it, but it has been getting progressively worse, and the nearest dealer is 200 miles away.

 

Tighten the 4 bolts......

 

Tighten the bolts......

Easy to say, but may be difficult to accomplish.

 

Looks like you need to remove the outer silver dimpled metal heatshield, then I would guess that the 4 bolts are easily accessible. But, the gasket probably needs to be replaced, but I would try to just tighten the bolts first.

 

I have got to say, this is one ugly engine.....

 

Yep, but it comes with a nice cover.

 

They sure don't look like the beautiful NORD or Busso engines from the years past.

 

I did pull off the heat shield, the place where the separation is is very hard to reach, it seems like all the turbo plumbing needs to come off, A/C tubing, and the turbo unit to fit in a new gasket. Nomad is my after-market warranty, they should cover this, but...with insurance, one never knows.

 

Ciao anche io ho lo stesso identico problema tuo. Quando sono con i finestrini abbassati e accelero forte dopo qualche secondo sento un forte odore di gas di scarico. Quando apro il cofano in corrispondenza della sonda lambda si sente una forte puzza di gas😓 ci aggiorni con qualche foto più dettagliata poi. Anche io nessun rumore particolare e nessuna spia accesa

 

Hopefully the extended warranty will cover it. Please let us know.
