New Land Rover Freelander Turbo – Ref. 753546-5023S

What changes behind the wheel of your Freelander with a new turbo

On a Land Rover Freelander fitted with a 2.2 diesel engine, a turbo in good condition makes itself felt from the very first metres: power builds smoothly again, torque comes in earlier in the rev range, and pulling away on hills or under load (towing, off-road, heavy luggage) no longer requires flooring the accelerator. A worn turbo, by contrast, shows itself through a gradual loss of power, heavier exhaust smoke on start-up or acceleration, and sometimes an unusual whistling noise under the bonnet. Fitting a new turbo to this model restores the driving feel you'd expect from an SUV designed for all-round use, on road and off.

Compatibility with Freelander engines

This new turbo is compatible with reference 753546-5023S, intended for Land Rover Freelander models fitted with the 2.2 eD4, 2.2 TD4 and 2.2 SD4 diesel engines, with engine codes DW12B, 224DT and DW12BTED4, and an engine capacity of 2179 cm3. Before placing an order, it is strongly recommended that you check the reference shown on your old turbo's identification plate or on your vehicle registration document, to confirm the part is the correct one for your vehicle.

Exchange basis and warranty for your Freelander

This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of your 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 your Freelander is off the road for as little time as possible. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Fitting and maintenance advice for the DW12B engine

The most common causes of turbo failure on these PSA-Land Rover diesel engines are insufficient lubrication, oil that is not up to specification or has not been changed at the recommended intervals, a clogged air filter, or a leak at the intercooler or intake hoses. Before fitting the new turbo, check the oil circuit (feed and return hoses), the condition of all hoses, and the cleanliness of the air intake. When starting up, the turbo must be primed with oil before the engine is first started, to prevent the bearings from running dry.
