Renault megane grand scenic 1.5 diesel turbo

[steve j]

My Renault 1.5 diesel started to blow out a little smoke from the exhaust, that was last week. Yesterday it really belched it out, I`ve stripped out the top of the engine bay to gain access, I went straight to the turbo, removed a pipe and checked the turbo vanes. The vanes spin freely but it has a fair amount of lateral movement, looks like the turbo has had it. Can anyone recommend a turbo refurb company ? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info, the smoke is not black, if it was I`d go straight for the EGR, it`s greyish blue. My oil level has gone down too.
