Description

This is a reconditioned Garrett GT17V variable nozzle turbocharger, specifically engineered for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi (D6BA engine, 130HP) produced between 2001 and 2007. This unit is a critical component for maintaining engine performance and fuel efficiency in these vehicles, offering a cost-effective solution compared to a new replacement.

Common failure modes for the GT17V series, particularly in the Mondeo TDCi application, typically involve the variable nozzle turbine (VNT) mechanism. Soot build-up from exhaust gases can cause the vanes to seize, leading to issues such as over-boosting, under-boosting, or erratic boost control. Electronic actuator faults are also prevalent, preventing the VNT from operating correctly. Furthermore, internal component wear, such as CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) bearing wear, can occur due to insufficient or contaminated oil supply, leading to excessive shaft play, oil leaks, and ultimately turbocharger failure.

At Gap Turbos, we meticulously recondition these units to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Our process involves full disassembly, cleaning, inspection, replacement of worn parts, and dynamic balancing of the rotating assembly. We also offer new exchange units for immediate dispatch, a professional fitting service at our Birmingham workshop, and DPF/catalytic converter cleaning to address potential root causes of turbo failure.

Common faults & troubleshooting

[‘* Loss of power under acceleration: Indicates a seized VNT mechanism or actuator fault, preventing correct boost delivery to the engine.’, “* Excessive blue/grey smoke from exhaust: Suggests oil is leaking past the turbocharger’s internal seals, often due to worn bearings or a blocked oil drain.”, ‘* Loud whistling or grinding noise from the engine bay: Points to internal damage within the turbocharger, such as a failing bearing or compressor/turbine wheel contact with the housing.’, “* Engine entering ‘limp mode’: Often triggered by the ECU detecting incorrect boost pressure, commonly caused by a sticking VNT or a faulty electronic actuator.”, “* High engine oil consumption without visible leaks: Can be a sign of oil passing through the turbocharger’s seals into the exhaust or intake system, where it is then burned.”]

Fitting notes for this unit

[‘* Oil Feed and Drain: Always replace the oil feed pipe and drain pipe gaskets; inspect the oil feed pipe for blockages or carbon build-up, replacing if necessary to ensure adequate oil supply.’, ‘* Oil Priming: Before the first start, ensure the turbocharger is adequately primed with clean engine oil by cranking the engine without allowing it to start until oil pressure builds, or by disconnecting the fuel supply.’, ‘* New Gaskets: Always use new gaskets and seals for all connections to the turbocharger, including the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and oil lines, to prevent leaks.’, ‘* Intercooler and Pipework: Thoroughly clean the intercooler and all associated pipework to remove any debris, oil residue, or metal fragments from the previous turbo failure.’, ‘* Air Filter and Breather System: Inspect and replace the air filter, and check the engine breather system (PCV valve/oil separator) for blockages, as these can impact turbocharger longevity.’]
