New Citroën DS3 1.2 PureTech Turbo – Ref. 836250-5002S

Signs of a failing turbo on the Citroën DS3 1.2 THP/PureTech

On the Citroën DS3 fitted with the 3-cylinder 1.2 THP or PureTech engine, a turbo nearing the end of its life typically makes itself known through a loss of power under acceleration, an unusual whistling noise from under the bonnet, blue or black exhaust smoke, or an engine warning light accompanied by the vehicle entering limp mode. Excessive oil consumption or hesitation on pick-up can also point to excessive play in the turbo shaft or worn bearings.

Compatibility of the turbo for the DS3

This new turbo is compatible with reference 836250-5002S and fits the 1.2 THP and 1.2 PureTech 110 and 130 hp petrol engines found in the Citroën DS3, identified by engine codes EB2DT and EB2DTS. Before placing an order, we strongly recommend checking the reference printed on the label of your old turbo to ensure exact compatibility with your vehicle.

This turbo is new and sold as a straightforward purchase: no old unit to return — there is no return or collection of the old turbo. A single delivery of the new turbo is made. 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 advice for your DS3 turbo

Before fitting the new turbo, carefully inspect the oil circuit (feed and return hoses, checking for blockages or deposits), the cleanliness of the air filter, and the condition of the intercooler. Insufficient lubrication or a contaminated intake circuit are among the most common causes of failure on these small-capacity turbocharged engines. Also check the quality of the oil being used and adhere to the recommended oil change intervals. When starting up for the first time, prime the turbo with oil before the initial start, then let the engine idle for a few moments to allow oil pressure to build gradually. Avoiding immediate high-revving from cold and abrupt engine shut-off after sustained use will also help extend the life of your turbo.
