Wanted: 1.6 hdi turbo charger

[Chris_90]

Long shot but has any one got a Picasso 1.6 hdi turbo charger, needs to be good working condition but cheap as possible, I'm buying a brand new one but want a cheap second hand one to throw on before just in case it dies again, why I make sure I've removed all the carbonated oil from the engine.

Thanks in advance

Good luck removing all the carbon from a DV6 without a full engine strip...

WOW! Hope this one isn't that bad! Certainly not looking forward to lookinh inside the sump

Tbh, the service schedule on that one was shocking, I'm amazed it made 100k lol.

But yeah, it doesn't look like a nice job!!

When you remove the sump the strainer will be blocked solid? When you remove it the three bolts will feel as if they are about to break. They won't they're all like it. Also has a strainer in the oil feed line. This will also be blocked.

[Toms306]

Still don't know whether to take the strainer/gauze out of the oil feed on mine!

Just treat it as a servicable filter tom

And do a flush and service every 10k...not the reccomended toomanyK

[Toms306]

I've read the DPF needs removing to access the banjo bolt though? Haven't looked into it myself but if that's the case, it's something I want to do while changing the DPF which wont get touched again (hopefully lol).

Fortunately the Focus has been serviced yearly, and has done under 10k a year (now on 48k at nearly 7 years old) and I'll keep it going yearly or sooner.

[bashbarnard]

Yeah dpf needs moving.

[Toms306]

Another ideally located service item then...

So replace rather than completely remove it then yeah?

[Chris_90]

They changed the design of the filter on the oil line to one with bigger holes in basicly it's not a serviceable item but if it does block bye bye turbo, I've read conflicting stories some say remove it some say fit the new updated version. Some one shown that the first d turbo engines used to have a filter on there oil lines but they were removed on the first service by Citroen or Peugeot, keep your eye on the injectors clamp bolts to as Apprently they come lose.

I'm considering removing the filter from the oil line but then I worry either the oil line or the entrance to the turbo will get blocked up by carbon. And at £300 for a new turbo I don't want to be killing one that's for sure!

Personally id keep the filter.. Its obviously doing its job by clogging up..

And then the supply of oil dies off to the he turbo and kills it.

[Toms306]

See this is exactly my point.

If its there and clogs, the turbo's f*cked. If its not there and the carbon gets up to the turbo, it's f*cked.


Yep, I'd read about the injector bolts. Ford specify tightening them at services (being main dealer serviced, mine are still tight and sealed) but oddly, PSA dealers don't...


Any idea when they changed the design of the banjo bolt?

[Chris_90]

I'm not sure tbh I read it on one the french fourms

Ah I see. Found the new style bolt on servicebox but doesn't say when it was changed. Probably after 2008...hmm...

Ill see what's in mine when I get round to stripping it down. Still unsure what to do if it was easier to access I'd check it every service. But you can't really be taking the dpf off every time
