Description
This listing details a reconditioned Garrett GT20 series turbocharger, specifically designed for the Range Rover TDV8 3.6L diesel engine. This unit is a direct replacement for original equipment part numbers 452239-5009s and LR017315, covering models manufactured between 2007 and 2010 with the 368DT (AJD-V8) engine code, rated at 272HP.
Our reconditioned GT20 turbochargers undergo a rigorous process at our Birmingham facility. We completely dismantle each unit, meticulously clean all components, and replace worn parts with new, high-quality equivalents. This includes new bearings, seals, and often a re-balanced CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Common failure modes for this specific turbocharger include seizure of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT) mechanism due to carbon build-up, electronic actuator faults leading to incorrect boost pressure, and general CHRA bearing wear from inadequate lubrication or extended service intervals. We address these issues comprehensively during reconditioning, calibrating the VNT system and actuator to factory specifications.

Common faults & troubleshooting
[‘* Lack of power or poor acceleration: Check for VNT mechanism seizure or a faulty electronic actuator, preventing correct boost pressure regulation.’, ‘* Excessive black or blue smoke from exhaust: Black smoke often indicates over-fuelling or insufficient air (turbo underperforming), while blue smoke suggests oil burning, potentially from a failed turbo bearing seal.’, ‘* Whistling, whining, or grinding noise: A distinct metallic or high-pitched noise often points to internal bearing wear or compressor/turbine wheel contact with the housing.’, ‘* Engine management light (EML) with boost pressure fault codes: Scan for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to boost pressure, turbocharger control, or actuator position, indicating an electronic or mechanical fault with the turbo.’, ‘* Oil leaks around the turbocharger: Inspect oil feed and drain lines for blockages or loose connections; internal turbo seals may also be failing, allowing oil past the bearings.’]
Fitting notes for this unit
[‘* Oil Feed Line: Always replace the turbocharger oil feed pipe or thoroughly clean the existing one to remove any carbon deposits or debris that could restrict oil flow and lead to premature bearing failure. Ensure the banjo bolt and washers are correctly torqued.’, ‘* Oil Drain: Verify the oil drain pipe is clear and free from obstructions. A restricted drain can cause oil to back up into the turbo, leading to seal failure and oil leaks.’, ‘* Gaskets and Seals: Always use new gaskets for the exhaust manifold, downpipe, oil feed, and oil drain connections. Never reuse old gaskets, as this can lead to exhaust leaks or oil leaks.’, ‘* Pre-oiling Procedure: Before the first start, disconnect the fuel pump or injectors and crank the engine for 10-15 seconds without ignition. This allows the oil system to prime the turbocharger bearings with fresh oil, preventing dry start damage.’, “* Actuator Calibration: If replacing the electronic actuator separately, ensure it is correctly calibrated to the turbocharger and vehicle’s ECU. Our reconditioned units come with pre-calibrated actuators.”, “* Torque Settings: Adhere strictly to manufacturer’s torque specifications for all turbocharger mounting bolts, especially those connecting to the exhaust manifold and downpipe, to prevent exhaust leaks or component damage.”]

Need this turbo cleaned or reconditioned?
Many turbo faults are actuator-only or VNT vane carbon buildup, not a failed core. We strip, ultrasonically clean, rebuild, and balance to OEM tolerances with a 24-month parts and labour warranty.
