sean92 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi my turbo stopped working the other day, no smoke or anything, just the loss of power there is now a noise (metal rattling noise) and no power I have been told this kit of eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Citroen-Ford-Mazda-1-6L-110HP-GT1544V-Turbocharger-rebuild-repair-kit-/221209983831?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3381247b57) could be used to repair the turbo, has anyone any experience is using such a kit ? or have any other recommendations thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I recommend you find out what is wrong - eg read the OBD11 codes etc, rather than assuming its the turbo - it may be something else, and even if it is the turbo, there are things that can go wrong that that repair kit cannot fix (sheared or siezed shafts, damaged impellers etc, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean92 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have taken the car to my mechanic and he has told me about a cartridge for the turbo, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160846404368?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 I have ordered one of these and hopefully this will do a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdays1 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I seem to remember something about the oilways in the cylinder head that cause the Peugeot 1.6 engine to knock out the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg321 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I seem to remember something about the oilways in the cylinder head that cause the Peugeot 1.6 engine to knock out the turbo. This. As I understand it, they usually "go" for a reason, so you need to address the root cause as well as fixing the turbo. My sister lost two turbos (the second one within a couple of weeks of the first!) on a 130K 90bhp 1.6 a few years back, presumably because of an underlying problem.

Mike77 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well documented problems with these cars as stated above. No way of anyone here knowing for sure but try a Google search 'focus 1.6tdci turbo issues' and sit down lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 You should replace the oil feed if you swap the turbo, I posted a link to eBay in the other recent poat about turbo issues. just search for 1.6 tdci oil feed, its £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
