New Dacia Duster Turbo – Ref. 16359880029

Diagnosing a faulty turbo on your Dacia Duster 1.5 dCi before replacing it

Before considering a turbo replacement on your Dacia Duster, a thorough diagnosis is recommended to rule out any other mechanical cause. Start by checking the air hoses (intake and exhaust) for leaks, the condition and cleanliness of the air filter, and any oil deposits in the intake circuit or intercooler — a common sign of bearing wear. A visual inspection of the turbine wheel for abnormal axial or radial play is also a useful step before any removal.

A new turbo designed for the 1.5 dCi in your Duster

This new turbo is compatible with reference 16359880029, intended for Dacia Duster models fitted with a 1.5 dCi 109 hp or 1.5 dCi 110 hp engine, including 4x4 versions, powered by the K9K diesel engine with a capacity of 1461 cm3. This unit, widely used in the Duster, places considerable demand on its turbo during off-road use or when towing, situations where forced induction plays a central role in managing low-rev torque.

Checking compatibility with your Duster

Before placing an order, we recommend checking the reference on the data plate of your old turbo to confirm an exact match with your vehicle and its engine.

Warranty and delivery for your Duster

This new turbo is sold as a straightforward purchase: there is no old unit to return — your old turbo stays with you. The part comes with a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Advice before fitting to your Duster

Before installation, carefully check the lubrication circuit (oil pressure, cleanliness of the feed and return lines), the condition of the hoses connecting the turbo to the intake and exhaust, and the air intake. Priming the turbo with oil before the first start is essential to ensure immediate bearing lubrication. On the 1.5 dCi, use a suitable quality oil and observe the recommended oil change intervals, as insufficient lubrication or a clogged air filter are among the leading causes of premature failure. Avoiding high revs immediately after a cold start will also help extend the life of your Duster's turbo.
