My motorhome runs the transit 2.4tdci engine, its only done 15000 miles but the turbo is not working, its intermitent, can be fine, so i know the turbo is fine, no smoke, but when its not working it sounds really noisy like a tractor!!! Any ideas what it could be? Checked all pipes and all seems ok?

Cheers.

 

checked th electronic actuator?i think they go on the tdci lumps.

 

How is it electronic? I looked and it has a vacuum pipe but no wires coming off it???? Looks like a smaller cossie one LOL...or is there something that controls boost?

 

its the mondeo/focus 1.8 and 2.0 tdci that uses the electronic acctuator.

 

what about a 05 focus 1.6tdci hows that work my misses sounds like a hover and the turbo is spining fast untill the vacum pipe is pulled of it witch must open the waste gate and slows it down do yous thing its electric falt

 

egr valve?

 

i think all the later transits are electrionicly controlled.

but being as yours is vacuum i'm guessing it's a 115 or 125ps model?

it's possible the wastegate is siezed, egr valves are common as are split boost pipes.

 

quite often theres a solenoid valve located at the other end of the actuator vacuum pipe, if this is faulty or there is a leak in these vacuum lines, it will cause a similar problem.
