New Peugeot 308 1.5 BlueHDi Turbo – Ref. 853603-5002S

Diagnosing a failing turbo on your Peugeot 308 1.5 BlueHDi before replacement

Before ordering a new turbo for your Peugeot 308 1.5 BlueHDi, it is advisable to confirm the diagnosis first. A gradual loss of power, an unusual whistling noise under acceleration, exhaust smoke (blue, black or white), or abnormal oil consumption with no visible leak are all tell-tale signs of a turbo nearing the end of its life on this engine. A fault code related to boost pressure may also appear on the dashboard. Before confirming the replacement, also check the condition of the intake hose, the air filter and the variable-geometry electric actuator, as these can produce similar symptoms without the turbo itself being at fault.

Fitting advice for the turbo on your 308 1.5 BlueHDi

On this engine, turbo failure is most commonly caused by a lubrication fault: incorrect engine oil grade, missed oil changes, a clogged oil filter or a partially blocked oil circuit. Before fitting the new turbo, carefully inspect the oil circuit, the intake hoses and the air intake to eliminate any risk of contaminating the new turbocharger. After installation, it is essential to prime the turbo with oil before the first start-up, to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings. Driving too hard immediately after fitting, or switching off the engine without allowing it to idle first, can also prematurely damage a new turbo.
