Why does the Defender 2.2 TDCi Puma turbo fail?
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 working vehicle. A lack of lubrication, incorrect or overdue engine oil, or an air filter clogged with track dust all accelerate wear on the bearings and the turbo itself. Hard acceleration without allowing the engine to cool down before switching off also causes the turbo to overheat and the central bearing to fail prematurely.
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, engine code DT224. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the reference number on your old turbo or on the vehicle's engine plate to confirm exact compatibility with your Defender.
Warranty and delivery for the Defender turbo
This new turbo is sold as a straightforward purchase: there is nothing to return — no old unit to send back or collect. A single delivery of the new turbo is made. A 12-month parts warranty applies, provided fitting is carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over 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), ensure there are no blockages or leaks in the hoses, and clean the air intake and intercooler to prevent premature fouling of the new turbo. When starting up for the first time, pre-lubricating the turbo with oil before the initial start ensures correct lubrication from the very first engine revolutions and helps extend the service life of the turbo on this vehicle used in demanding conditions.
