New Peugeot 208 Turbo – Ref. 836250-5002S

Why can the turbo on the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech/THP fail?

On the Peugeot 208 fitted with the turbocharged 1.2 petrol three-cylinder engine, the turbocharger shares its oil circuit with an engine that is well known for its sensitivity to lubrication. The so-called "wet" timing belt, which runs immersed in engine oil, can deteriorate over time and release small particles into the circuit. These residues gradually clog the oil galleries that feed the turbo, reducing the pressure available at the central bearing. Poor oil level monitoring, delayed oil changes or the use of non-approved oil all make this worse and accelerate wear on the bearings and rotor. On this model, a gradual loss of power, an unusual whistling noise under acceleration or exhaust smoke are warning signs that should not be ignored before complete failure occurs.

Fitting advice for the 208 turbo

Before fitting this new turbo to a Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech/THP, it is essential to check the condition of the oil circuit, the intake hoses and the air intake, as a single piece of debris or contamination is enough to damage a new turbo within a few kilometres. Priming the turbo with oil before the first start-up ensures immediate lubrication of the bearings. It is also advisable to check the condition of the air filter and intercooler — two components that directly affect the service life of the turbo on this engine — and to drive gently during the first few kilometres after installation.
