Dear All: Recently my trooper (1996 Diesel Intercooler Turbo 3.1D) have big noise (V...V..)when I driving, The repairman told me it should a noise of the turbo bearing attrition, and he told me no one can repair the turbo inside because of the design. Whether I need to replace a whole set of it, or keep driving it is whether safe? Best Regards, Chan Wai Lun
You need a new turbocharger. To avoid this in the future, idle the vehicle for 30-60 seconds each time before you turn it off. If you do not want to wait each time, you can buy one of these:
My 95 Trooper has always sounded like this. Owned from new and always run on synthetic oil and fitted with a turbo timer.
