Description

This listing is for a reconditioned Garrett GT17V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi (FMBA engine, 130 HP) produced between 2002 and 2007. It directly replaces OEM part number 5S7Q6K682AE and alternative part number 752233-5007s.

The GT17V series, part of the Garrett GT family, utilises a variable nozzle turbine (VNT) mechanism. This design allows for optimised boost pressure across the engine’s RPM range by altering exhaust gas flow into the turbine. Common failure modes for this specific turbocharger often relate to the VNT mechanism itself. Soot accumulation from exhaust gases can cause the variable vanes to seize, leading to over-boosting or under-boosting conditions. Electronic actuator faults are also prevalent, as the actuator controls the VNT mechanism; a faulty actuator can result in incorrect boost control and associated engine management lights. Furthermore, like all turbochargers, bearing wear within the CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) can occur due to insufficient lubrication or contamination, manifesting as excessive shaft play, oil leaks, or a distinct whistling/grinding noise.

At Gap Turbos, we specialise in providing high-quality reconditioned turbochargers. Our reconditioning process for this GT17V unit involves a complete strip-down, thorough cleaning, inspection of all components, and replacement of all wear parts with new, OE-quality equivalents. The VNT mechanism is meticulously cleaned and recalibrated, and the electronic actuator is tested and replaced if it fails to meet manufacturer specifications. Each reconditioned unit undergoes rigorous balancing and flow testing to ensure it meets or exceeds original equipment performance standards. We also offer new exchange units for immediate dispatch, alongside a professional fitting service at our Birmingham workshop. We can also provide a comprehensive diagnostic and cleaning service for associated engine components, such as intercoolers and pipework, to prevent future turbocharger issues.

Please contact Gap Turbos for a precise quotation and details on our comprehensive warranty coverage for this reconditioned turbocharger.

Specifications

Vehicle fitment

• Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi

Common faults & troubleshooting

• Loss of power or ‘limp mode’: Often indicates the variable nozzle turbine (VNT) vanes are seized or the electronic actuator is faulty, preventing correct boost control.
• Excessive smoke from exhaust (blue or white): Can point to oil leaking past worn turbocharger bearings into the exhaust or intake system.
• Whining or whistling noise: A clear sign of compressor wheel damage or excessive play in the turbocharger’s shaft bearings.
• Engine management light (EML) illuminated: Frequently triggered by incorrect boost pressure readings due to VNT issues or a malfunctioning actuator.
• Oil leaks around the turbocharger: Suggests worn seals or bearings within the CHRA, allowing oil to escape.

Fitting notes for this unit

• Always replace the oil feed pipe and drain pipe gaskets to prevent oil starvation or leaks, as these are critical for turbocharger longevity.
• Ensure the engine oil and oil filter are changed with the correct specification lubricant before fitting the new/reconditioned turbocharger.
• Prime the turbocharger with clean engine oil through the oil feed hole before starting the engine to ensure initial lubrication and prevent dry running.
• Carefully inspect and clean all associated intake and exhaust pipework, intercooler, and catalytic converter for any debris or oil residue from the previous failure.
• Torque all exhaust manifold and turbocharger mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specified values to prevent exhaust leaks and stress on the unit.
• After installation, run the engine at idle for a few minutes before revving to allow oil pressure to build and circulate thoroughly through the turbocharger.
