Oil catch can time.

So this afternoon my 206cc decided to spit his dummy out throw a fit and do a kevin or karen ,heres how it went.

Driving at national speed limit then i had to slow down as a car in front turned left , slowing down normal then foot back on the gas a rattle from the engine almost like way an astra g used to do when the cam sensor is worn , then bleep bleep bleep antipollution fault on the screen that was followed buy engine light , car drives normal . Stopped at a junction pulled of dirty brown smoke puffs out the tail pipe clears quick car still handles ok, but it sounds like something is blocked front end like a blowing joint noise but none of the joints are blown,
My suspicions are the turbo seals are wearing out i also believe the turbine shafts could possibly be worn, i got the car with 113000 on the clock its just over 120000 now. Pvc diaphragm has been renewed, ive tested the turbo solenoid for vacuum leaks its working as normal none at all

Oh dear, have you had chance to plug it in and see what is logged?

Also (given a couple of jubilee clips and that stupid PCV connection away from coming off) have another "turbo shaft wobble test" see if has changed from last time.

However the engine bay noises you've described don't match with the symptoms we had. In fairness we caught the turbo failure very early - my wife is an engineer too and perceptive, rang me up "it's making an unusual noise" so I drove to her work on my way home, had a wiggle of the turbo shaft as above and decided that was handing it notice in. Rather than tow it 28 miles home (the initial plan) I gave her a quick tutorial on "diesel runaway" (as if bearings fail and oil is drawn from turbo into intake you can be in rev to destruction territory if you don't/ can't stall it in time!) And we drove it home very gently. I followed behind ready for her hazards coming on, but it limped back ok. You've seen what happened next: picture with the engine crane!

Is there any way of up loading a small video clip here ,of the test i just carried out on the turbos cartridge there is play up and down quite a lot. I'm thinking the spindle is worn on one side hence the movement there is in and out movement but even more up & down.

The whooshing sound sounds like a split intake hose. I had the same issue on a Xantia, took me ages to find it. You'll often not see them when the engine is off. The split on my Xantia only appeared when the boost pressurised the pipes. I had to take them all off and inspect them by squeezing in all ways and looking for splits. The long one over the top of the engine had split on the underside. Would never have found it without close inspection.

This also led to some smoking under acceleration as there wasn't enough air going in for the amount of fuel.
