hi all,
just had this come up on the OBD equipment, the engine light is on and the turbo isnt boosting, is this usually a replacment turbo?
rather than replace can they be rebuilt? just looking for the cheapest option


many thanks

little bram

I wouldn't be changing the turbo just on a fault code you'll need to do some more testing. what is the code description?

andrewmctiernan

p0238 - Turbocharger Boost Sensor (A) Circuit High Input is present

There is a boost control valve bolted to the rear of the engine brown in colour if it's a dv6 1.6tdci I would be checking in that area first , vac lines no leaks and also electrical connector .

Regards Doug

I'll be honest it came in as a part ex and im deciding whether to fix it or put to the auction, local lad rebuilds turbos for Ł175

thanks guys

andrewmctiernan

it was the boost control valve, many thanks

Doug

Glad you sorted it .

Regards Doug .

and the next issue and i believe a common one, it has the odd hesitation at low revs, is it worth some injector cleaner and decent diesel?
