year ?? 2.0T privilage turbo prob?? - Gavinh1

MARK 4 2.0T GRAND ESPACE

The other day after a short trip into a shop after a 20min car journey i returned to my car started it and it started reving itself up to 3000 revs up and back down, i turned the car off and started her again and it was fine. I have been told it could be a turbo issue, but then another person said not .. im not sure as when the car is warmed up when driving i can hear the turbo alot more now then i used to. ( just the normal whisling sound but slightly louder than usual) also if you put your foot down flat to the floor you can hear a bit of a rattle.... maybe bearings on turbo. I DO NOT have any smoke from exhaust. Any ideas welcome .. does anyone know how much a new turbo would cost fitted? thanks

{no idea of year of manufacture, as author of thread failed to mention it!}

Sounds more like an engine sensor to me. This is a petrol model I think. The engine revving is a symptom of a failing turbo on a diesel.
