Why does the turbo fail on the Defender 2.2 TDCi Puma?

On the Land Rover Defender fitted with the 2.2 TDCi (Puma) engine, the turbo is put under particular strain by off-road use and the frequent towing loads typical of this utility vehicle. A lack of lubrication, an unsuitable engine oil or one that has not been changed on time, or an air filter clogged with trail dust will all accelerate wear on the bearings and the turbo itself. Driving with sudden bursts of high revs, without allowing the engine to cool down before switching off, also promotes overheating of the turbo assembly and premature failure of the central bearing.

Compatibility of the new turbo for the Defender 2.2 TDCi

This new turbo is compatible with reference 788479-5006S and fits the Land Rover Defender with the 2.2 TDCi (Puma) diesel engine, 2198 cm³ capacity, engine code DT224. Before placing an order, it is recommended that you check the reference printed on the old turbo or on the vehicle's engine plate, in order to confirm exact compatibility with your Defender.

Exchange basis and warranty on this Defender turbo

This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted to the Defender, so that the vehicle is not left off the road. A 12-month parts warranty applies, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Fitting advice for the Defender 2.2 TDCi

Before fitting this new turbo to the Defender, it is advisable to check the condition of the oil circuit (feed and return lines), to ensure there are no blockages or leaks in the hoses, and to clean the air intake and intercooler to prevent premature fouling of the new turbo. When starting up, priming the turbo with oil before the first start ensures correct lubrication from the very first engine revolutions and helps preserve the service life of the turbo assembly on this vehicle used in demanding conditions.
