I drive a 2016 Range Rover Evoque SE. It’s at 158,000km and the engine is a 2.0-liter turbo I-4.

Took it in for maintenance and they said my turbo charger is cracked. Google says that this can cause my engine to lose some power. I don’t think I’ve lost power and the check engine light hasn’t come on, so I’m not too terribly concerned. I barely drive so a little less power wouldn’t be the end of the world.

However, the dealership notes say that due to the crack, exhaust fumes are leaking into the interior of the car. I know nothing about engines—is this possible?

My question is, is this a need-to-fix-ASAP type of repair, like I will need to replace my entire engine or get carbon monoxide poisoning if I don’t address it now? Or can I ride it out for another 1,000 km or so?

Thank you!

    Just get it done, generally cracks appear in the cast iron part of the turbo around the turbine, nobody could say with certainty if this would last a while or cause a catastrophic fail in the near future, it won’t be a cheap job.
