Reconditioned Ford Galaxy Turbo – Ref. 53039880036

Diagnosing a turbo on a Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 90 before replacement

Before ordering a turbo for your Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 90, a thorough diagnosis is essential. Loss of power under acceleration, blue or black exhaust smoke, an unusual whistling noise under the bonnet, or the engine warning light coming on can all point to turbocharger wear. On this model, it is also worth checking the intake circuit, the vacuum hoses, and any axial play on the turbo shaft before concluding that a full replacement is needed. This diagnosis helps avoid an unnecessary fitting and confirms that the fault lies with the turbocharger rather than another component in the air or oil circuit.

Compatibility with the Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 90

This reconditioned turbo is compatible with reference 53039880036, intended for the Ford Galaxy fitted with the 1.9 TDI 90 engine, engine code ANU. Before placing an order, we recommend checking this reference directly on your old turbocharger — engraved or shown on a data plate — to ensure an exact match with your vehicle.

Exchange and warranty for this Ford Galaxy turbo

This turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of your old turbocharger is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Ford Galaxy is not left off the road during the process. This reconditioned turbo comes with a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Common causes of failure on the ANU engine

On this diesel unit, the majority of turbo failures stem from insufficient lubrication or degraded engine oil, often caused by excessively long oil change intervals. A clogged air filter or a damaged intercooler also contribute to premature fouling of the vanes and wear of the turbo shaft. Driving with sudden high-rev bursts followed by immediately switching off the engine, without a cooling-down period, also accelerates bearing wear.

Points to check before fitting on your Ford Galaxy

• Cleanliness and condition of the oil circuit (feed and return lines)
• Condition of the vacuum hoses and air intake
• Absence of metal particles in the intake circuit
• Priming the turbo with oil before the first start, to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings
