Description

This is a reconditioned Garrett GT17V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Ford Mondeo TDCi 130HP models manufactured between 2001 and 2007, featuring the D6BA engine code. This unit is a direct replacement for original equipment part number 714467-5014s and its alternative 3S7Q6K682AF, ensuring correct fitment and performance for your vehicle.

The Garrett GT17V is a variable nozzle turbine (VNT) turbocharger, known for its efficiency across a broad RPM range. Common failure modes for this particular turbocharger often involve the variable geometry mechanism seizing due to carbon build-up from exhaust gases. This can lead to issues such as over-boosting, under-boosting, or inconsistent power delivery. Additionally, the electronic actuator, which controls the variable vanes, can develop faults, resulting in limp mode activation or diagnostic trouble codes. Bearing wear within the CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) is another frequent issue, typically caused by insufficient or contaminated oil supply, manifesting as excessive shaft play, oil leaks, or a distinct whining noise.

At Gap Turbos, we specialise in providing high-quality turbocharger solutions. This listing is for a reconditioned unit, meaning it has been meticulously disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new, high-grade components where necessary, including bearings, seals, and thrust components. The variable geometry mechanism is thoroughly cleaned of carbon deposits and tested for smooth, unrestricted operation across its full range, and the electronic actuator is checked, repaired, or replaced and calibrated to factory specifications. We also address any wear in the compressor and turbine wheels. We also offer new exchange units for immediate availability, or we can fit and clean associated components like intercoolers and pipework if you bring your vehicle to our Birmingham workshop, ensuring the entire induction system is free from contamination. All our reconditioned turbochargers undergo stringent balancing and testing procedures to meet or exceed OE specifications.

Specifications

Vehicle fitment

• Ford Mondeo TDCi

Common faults & troubleshooting

• Loss of power or ‘limp mode’: This often indicates issues with the variable geometry mechanism sticking or the electronic actuator failing to control boost pressure correctly. A diagnostic scan will confirm actuator faults.
• Excessive smoke from exhaust (blue/grey): Suggests oil ingress into the exhaust system, likely from worn CHRA bearings or seals due to restricted oil return or contaminated oil.
• Whining or siren-like noise: Typically points to bearing wear within the CHRA, indicating excessive shaft play and potential contact between the compressor/turbine wheels and their housings.
• Oil leaks around the turbocharger: Can be caused by failed oil seals due to high crankcase pressure, blocked oil drain, or simply aged gaskets.
• Engine management light (EML) illuminated: Often triggered by over-boost or under-boost conditions, which are common symptoms of a sticking variable geometry or a faulty electronic actuator.

Fitting notes for this unit

• Oil Feed Pipe: Always replace the oil feed pipe and ensure it is clear of any blockages. Contaminated or restricted oil supply is a primary cause of premature turbocharger failure.
• Oil Drain Pipe: Thoroughly clean or replace the oil drain pipe to ensure unrestricted oil return to the sump. Kinks or blockages can cause oil to back up into the CHRA, leading to seal failure.
• Gaskets and Seals: Use new gaskets and seals throughout the installation process. Ensure manifold and downpipe mating surfaces are clean and flat for a leak-free seal.
• Pre-lubrication: Before the initial start-up, prime the turbocharger by pouring clean engine oil into the oil feed port and hand-cranking the engine (without starting) until oil pressure builds, ensuring the CHRA is fully lubricated.
• Torque Settings: Adhere strictly to manufacturer-specified torque settings for all fasteners, especially for the oil feed and drain connections, and the exhaust manifold bolts to prevent leaks or damage.
• Intercooler and Pipework: Clean the intercooler and all associated boost pipework thoroughly to remove any debris, oil, or metal fragments from the previous turbo failure. Failure to do so will contaminate the new unit.
