Hey gents,
Well since I'm the owner of a turbocharged vehicle after many years (my older tech diesel bakkies don't count), I need you know whats your take on the cooling down of your vehicles turbocharger after a drive, be it down to the shops or a long run?
I know currently all BMWs are turbocharged with start-stop, so is my GTi but isn't the start-stop preventing you from idling the vehicle and allowing the oil to cool the turbo down?
I find myself switching it off when I get home because it will switch off in the driveway. So I'm sure this means the vehicle can be switched off at will and there's no need to cool the turbo down?
I've checked the owners manual and found nothing, there's not even a section on the turbo. Maybe it doesn't have one![Rofl]( "Rofl")
