Components such as a turbo do not often just fail, they are normally the victim of another failure elsewhere.
If not investigated properly you could find yourself back with another failed turbo after 10 days.
I have worked closely with the motor trade previously, and one area I spent a lot of time working on was failed turbos, especially that of the 1.6 dv6Peugeot engine, found in just about everything nowadays. The turbo was never the issue, it was always down to oil supply or lack of it typically.
The problem with a low mileage car is items that are design to be well lubricated or rotated don’t get the use they need. Seals can perish or go brittle, oil quality can deteriorate rapidly if not getting up to full operating temps etc.
There is lots more going in here than just a failed turbo. The fact that you have w noticeable whine says to me it’s an oil problem and the bearings have failed. Either way the turbo will need a rebuild or replacement, but you need to find what caused this failure first otherwise it’s going to be an even more expensive road to recovery.
What exactly should they check when they fit the new turbo ? Surely.they will know to do this tho yeah?
