Happy new year to you all 🥳.

Grand vitara 1.9 58 plate. . Just bought it and driving along motorway heard a clunk losses power but still driving at low speeds. Got home ok and I can hear the turbo whistling away and seems like a blowing noise from exhaust but held hand at exhaust there is a pressure build up. Took for a drive and it’s slightly better after stopping car at house then having a look for ten minutes but it’s really low on power and the turbo is whistling loud. Any ideas appreciated thanks. I’m taking into my garage on Tuesday to do a o s f wheel hub/bearing so if I know what’s wrong with the power loss I could start on that as well.

When I was driving on the motorway the clunk was pretty loud followed by the power loss, seemed to be in limp mode but after sitting ten minutes it drove better but with power loss and the turbo whistling loud. Giving this a double ponder as I’m not a mechanic but do have some experience on servicing cars so hopefully I can fix it.

Thinking the turbo bearings or bearing have collapsed.

I thought a belt had came of when on the motorway I felt the clunk through the accelerator pedal and did shudder the car slightly.

Thanks if you take the time to read this and point me in the correct direction to getting the problem diagnosed and maybe an estimated cost if anyone has had a similar problem.

Thanks .

Hi. First time on a forum.

I need help. I have a 1.9ddis Suzuki Grand Vitara 2006

It has the 1.9 Renault engine fitted and it’s failed.

Can anyone guide me into what Renault models share the the same engine, as the engine for these are mega bucks.

Yet a Renault Laguna for example on a 2006 are cheap.

But need to make aure they will fit with a change of a few parts

Thanks in advance.
