Hi folks,

I haven't found any threads directly related to this problem,

1985 300td CA version,

When the engine is warm, hitting boost (going up a hill or accelerating) there is a gradually worse screeching noise coming from the engine. It genuinely sounds like the turbo is eating itself. The turbo has a gold compressor nut, and has zero shaft play that I can tell, I have not rebuilt it.

Some have said that this is an exhaust leak on one of the gaskets?? Any input from people with previous experience on this problem would be great-

Thanks
