Hello,

I recently purchased a non runner 2009 Alhambra Ecomotive 2.0 TDI (Engine code - BRT) with 100k miles on the clock. Car was bought with the turbo already having been removed by the previous owner as the turbo shaft had snapped in two which was why it was parked up. Upon doing more research on the car and the BRT 2.0 TDI engine, I learned that it suffers with the oil pump balancer hex shaft rounding off so I took the sump off to inspect it to see if this is why the turbo shaft had snapped and it was indeed rounded off as seen below:

Is this the culprit for the turbo failure? To the touch the shaft doesn't feel completely rounded although there is a noticeable difference when i spin the shaft between my fingers on the non worn part and the worn part.

I have put a battery in the car to see if any warning lights come up on the dash to see if there has been a complete loss of oil pressure and the engine is completely toast - the glow plug light was on but I don't have a proper code reader to see if there has been any saved codes from when it last ran (which was a good few years ago). I am trying to decide whether it is feasible to put the money into it to get it running again, which would include doing the balancer shaft swap with a refurbed one from KBM or the like.

What is all missing from this area at the back of the engine where the turbo should be? I have purchased a new turbo but not sure what else is missing (DPF?) Does the DPF bolt onto the exhaust side of the turbo?

I think the EGR has been blanked off also, would this have affected the turbo failure? and would i need to unblock it to get it through a MOT?

As you can see there's a fair few issues to sort to get it on the road again so I would be very grateful for any advice anyone has to offer.

Thanks
