Good day All.

Wondering if anyone out there can help me, I recently had a brand new turbo fitted to my Jackaroo (3.1TD) and after having had it back for two days it has developed a high pitched scream at around 2000rpm. I have had it back to the turbo mechanic and he has searched for air leaks and checked the bearings. I had all the vee belts off it to see if it was a water pump or alternator but it still screamed it's preverbials off. I am at a loss as to what it could be, any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers in advance

Actually the turbo was only $1400, then add the labour. I nearly fell over as everything else for the car has more didgits than a mobile phone number, and besides that she complains about everything so I am used to that particular scream HEE HEE
