New Peugeot 508 Turbo – Ref. 853603-5002S

Diagnosing a failing turbo on a Peugeot 508 1.5 BlueHDi before replacement

Before ordering a new turbo for your Peugeot 508 fitted with the 1.5 BlueHDi 130 engine, it is essential to confirm that the fault lies with the turbocharger itself and not with an ancillary component. A methodical check involves testing for axial or radial play on the turbine shaft, inspecting the condition of the intake hose and oil circuit, and looking out for blue or black smoke accompanied by a loss of power or an unusual whistling noise under acceleration. This diagnosis helps avoid an unnecessary replacement and ensures the new part does not suffer the same premature failure.

Common causes of failure and fitting advice

On the 1.5 BlueHDi engine fitted to the Peugeot 508, the main cause of turbo failure is inadequate lubrication due to incorrect oil grade or missed oil changes, as well as a clogged air filter that leads to fouling of the vanes. A damaged intercooler or a pipe subjected to excessive stress when the engine is cold can also accelerate premature wear of the turbocharger.

Before fitting, check the oil circuit, the condition of the hoses and the cleanliness of the air intake to prevent any contamination of the new turbo. When starting the engine for the first time, prime the oil supply to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings from the moment the engine fires.
