So. The rumination is going on. Today I drove with my Omega 140 km without bigger problems, just a little bit the squeeking sounds again on the last 30 km. My abler friend Carsten has checked it. The turbocharger is definetely gone. The shaft is redounded and oil is everywhere in the in- and outtake hoses and pipes. But the car still roadworthy and without any noticeable loss of power.

After my wife (she works as a loss-accessor in a motor car insurance) told me, that she had sometimes customers, whose cars were burnt down due a defect turbocharger, I've put out all non-urgently need stuff of the car, as the CD's (@dsl: Andre Brasseur, Air, The Royal Highlanders, Fatboy Slim, ZZ Top and a Sampler with South African Folk Pop, mostly in Zulu).

So what to do? Tomorrow Carsten will tell me, what would be the price for changing the turbocharger with a good used part. Or, as the car is still running with the same power, shall I driving it on, just with ignoring the sounds and the oil in the turbo-system?
Or rather "increasing the blow count" (literally translated) with looking for a new car? In two weeks, some vacation-days are registrated for me. Despite the facts, that I was wrong with them -the Techno Classica Show is one week before- and I should use the days for our longer holiday-trip in September, the end on the Omega is forseeable.
And the effort for purchasing a new car is a well-needed subterfuge :smile: Otherwise my parents-in-law are expecting, that I will come with them on vacations, as a substitute for my brother-in-law. A long weekend in a fucking uninteresting village-resort in the fucking uninteresting German East :sad: 1500 km driving for having "relaxed vacations", where my displeasure and fretfulness is already definetely expectable. :ohwell:

So a trip to the UK will be my best chance for avoiding all that :smile:
