If your turbo fails catastrophically, parts of the failed turbo may end up in the exhaust or intake. They can reappear after the new turbo is fitted, which results in damage to the new turbo. We will change the oil and filters. This would follow removing the sump to make sure all the material causing the turbocharger failure is cleaned out.

We will then remove and inspect the oil feed pipe and fittings for contaminants. You can also ask us to replace the air filter if you want. We will inspect the intercooler as there might be quantities of oil or parts from the original failed turbo still lingering inside the intercooler. If your vehicle has a catalytic converter or DPF in the exhaust system, we will clean or replace these to ensure correct operation.

As can be seen from the issues highlighted above, there are plenty of points to look for and consider if you find that you have a blown turbo. If you suspect that is the case with your car and would like to discuss a replacement or would simply like some advice, please give one of our customer service team at Garage Express in North London, and our technicians and mechanics will be happy to help.
