   Well that didn't last long 

2 weeks and approx 3k miles 

The new turbo that got fitted has failed with exactkly the same fault as the old one 

The shaft that the blades are attached to has snapped. 

Another new turbo ordered and should arrive tomorrow.....

Try not to drop it on the garage floor before you fit it

[tidla]

find a new garage.

oil feed and oil pressure to the turbo needs to be checked. waste of time chucking on a new turbo with no lube.

turbo pressure could of been checked without changing dpfs with a simple squeeze of a turbo hose.

As said, this is not a Turbo problem, but a pressure one I should think.  If the pressure problems are not sorted, you'll be without a van every fortnight.


I believe the engines are Fiat derived?  Bloody good Diesel lumps!

Oil is getting to the turbo.....theres a 'bleed' valve on the turbo.....this was undo before the knackered one was taken off.....oil pissed out went everywhere

Its a Pug lump......as is the whole bus.....i think

The pug lumps don't normally suffer with turbo failures unlike renault's finest

All together now.....ow yes they do!

There not as good as the Pug diesels of 15 years ago

That seems to apply to most modern diesels

Between the performance expectations and the emmissions demands, they seem to be getting less and less reliable

A colleague used to run a 51 plate Ford Tourneo, did nearly 600k on original engine and still going, His 08 replacement, bought from new, had to have a new lump at 120k.

That all? Someone wasn't really trying then.  Mine's been off the road for 10 of the 33 months that I've had it and inspite of that 200k is the next service

I currently have a Turbo off one here in bits.

Its a standard Garret variable geo turbo and the exhaust shaft seal has failed.
