Hiya,

my 2002 hdi 110 feels sluggish and lacks boost, i think something maybe up with the turbo or something??

Is there a test i can do or do i have to make atriip to teh dealers for a proper check??? Drove it up teh m11 this morning and engine still revving but no fault lights anywhere yet.

Have you searched on here?
I think air leaks between turbo & inlet manifold or egr valve problems are more common / cheaper to fix

Probably the throttle sensor or something maybe vacuum operated (solenoids?)

The Turbo's don't really fail on the HDi's

And there's a an oil leak.

From the turbo - not good. Could be new turbo time

A couple of weeks ago, I fixed a power loss problem on a Peugeot Expert HDi. The rubber pipe leading from the intercooler to the turbo, just in front of and below the radiator had a split about an inch long. The vehicle had no power going up hills, oil dripping from the said pipe, and black smoke coming out the exhaust when you revved the engine.

A split intercooler/turbo pipe is more common then a turbo failure, I'm not saying your turbo isn't faulty, but I would check all other possible causes first, including looking closely at those pipes.

My KKK turbo is covered in oil, always has been but still boosts like a good'un.

If its the turbo does any one know of a good garage in the East London area?

I had to changed 3 of the turbo pipes on my old 806 110 HDI (at different times, 2 when on my holls), as jasper said, no power, black smoke, dripping oil but I had the K light up each time.

I had to change the bottom turbo hose off the intercooler on mine
(as a couple of guys on here know ) same symptoms but never
brought up the k light

The bottom of the hose rubs on a radiator bracket and is hard to spot, athough when mine went it made a *massive* wooshing sound people would turn and look in the street.

Can anyone tel me when they get the boost on their HDI??

IE Changing 2nd into 3rd at 2k rev???

Most noticeable boost is between 1800 - 2800 rpm. Some lag in 2nd and 3rd is evident early on and then it should pull pretty strong between the revs I said.

All,

The cost of a replcement turbo is £350 (refurbished), can anyone tell me what the labour charge is???

You sure it needs replacing? it would be very rare to be honest.

Labour would be around 4 hours? I would say including oil change, testing etc etc.
