New Citroën C3 1.2 PureTech Turbo – Ref. 887157-5001S

Why does the turbo fail on the Citroën C3 1.2 THP/PureTech?

On the 3-cylinder petrol engines fitted to the Citroën C3 (engine codes HNP, HNS, HNV, HNY, HNZ), the turbo is put under considerable strain due to downsizing and high boost pressures. The most common causes of turbo failure on this model include insufficient lubrication from a low oil level, missed oil changes or the use of oil that does not meet manufacturer specifications, a clogged air filter that upsets the balance of the turbocharger assembly, and a leaking intercooler that causes the intake air to overheat. Hard acceleration followed by immediately switching off the engine — without allowing a cooling-down period — also accelerates bearing wear.

Fitting advice for the C3 1.2 THP/PureTech turbo

Before fitting the new turbo, check the condition of the oil circuit (feed and return hoses), ensure the air intake is clean and confirm there are no leaks from the intercooler. Priming the turbo with fresh oil before the first start is essential to ensure immediate bearing lubrication and prevent any dry running.
