New Mercedes Citan Turbo – Ref. 16359880051

Symptoms of a worn turbo on the Mercedes Citan 108 CDI and 109 CDI

On the Citan van, a turbocharger that is nearing the end of its life often makes itself known through a noticeable loss of power under full load, an engine that struggles to rev when the vehicle is laden, and abnormal exhaust smoke (blue or black). An unusual whistling noise on acceleration, excessive engine oil consumption, or an illuminated emissions warning light are also signs that should not be ignored on this type of van, which is frequently used in demanding professional applications.

Exchange basis and warranty for this Citan 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, so that the Citan is not off the road any longer than necessary. A 12-month parts warranty is provided, subject to fitting being carried out by a professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Fitting advice for the Citan 108 CDI and 109 CDI

Before fitting the new turbo, check the oil circuit: ensure the feed and return hoses are clean and unobstructed, that oil pressure is correct, and that the oil filter has been recently changed with a fresh oil service. Also inspect the air intake and air filter, as well as the condition of the intercooler, which can conceal an oil deposit — a telltale sign of a previous failure. On first start-up, prime the turbo with oil before starting the engine to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings, which is essential for the longevity of this part on a diesel engine.
