Description
This is a reconditioned Garrett GT17V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi (QXBA engine, 140 HP) manufactured between 2005 and 2010. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 6S7Q6K682AG and alternative part number 758226-5010s, ensuring correct fitment and performance for your diesel vehicle.
The Garrett GT17V is a variable nozzle turbine (VNT) unit, which allows for precise control over exhaust gas flow to optimise boost pressure across the engine’s RPM range. Common failure modes for this specific turbocharger often relate to its VNT mechanism. Over time, carbon deposits and soot can accumulate within the turbine housing, leading to seizure of the variable vanes. This restricts the turbo’s ability to adjust boost, resulting in symptoms such as reduced power, poor fuel economy, and potential ‘limp mode’ activation. Electronic actuator faults are also prevalent, as the actuator is responsible for controlling the VNT mechanism. A faulty actuator can lead to incorrect boost pressure regulation or complete loss of boost. Additionally, like many turbochargers, the central housing rotating assembly (CHRA) bearings can wear out due to insufficient or contaminated oil supply, causing excessive shaft play, oil leaks into the exhaust or intake, and characteristic whining or grinding noises.
At Gap Turbos, our reconditioning process for this GT17V unit involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning, and inspection of all components. Worn parts, including bearings, seals, and the VNT mechanism, are replaced with new, high-quality equivalents. The CHRA is precision balanced, and the VNT system is calibrated to OEM specifications to ensure optimal performance. We also offer new exchange units for quicker turnaround, or a professional fitting service at our Birmingham workshop where we can diagnose and resolve underlying issues.

Common faults & troubleshooting
[‘Reduced power/Limp mode: Often caused by a seized VNT mechanism or faulty electronic actuator, preventing correct boost regulation.’, ‘Excessive smoke (blue/white): Indicates oil leaking past worn CHRA bearings into the exhaust or intake system.’, ‘Whining/Grinding noise: Suggests worn internal bearings or compressor/turbine wheels contacting the housings due to excessive shaft play.’, ‘Oil leaks around turbo: Can be due to worn oil seals within the CHRA or incorrect fitting of oil lines and gaskets.’, ‘Check engine light with boost-related fault codes: Points to issues with boost pressure sensor, VNT actuator, or a boost leak in the intake system.’]
Fitting notes for this unit
[‘Always replace the oil feed pipe and all gaskets (inlet, outlet, oil drain, oil feed) when fitting a new or reconditioned turbocharger.’, “Ensure the oil feed pipe is properly primed with clean engine oil before connecting it to the turbocharger to prevent a ‘dry start’.”, “Fill the turbocharger’s oil inlet port with clean engine oil before installation to lubricate the bearings during the initial start-up.”, ‘Crank the engine without starting (e.g., by disconnecting the fuel pump or injectors) for 10-15 seconds to allow oil pressure to build up and circulate through the turbo.’, ‘Check for exhaust and oil leaks immediately after the first start, and allow the engine to idle for several minutes to ensure proper oil circulation.’, ‘Verify that all vacuum lines (if applicable) and electrical connections to the VNT actuator are correctly reconnected and secure.’]

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.
