Description

This listing is for a high-quality reconditioned Garrett GT17V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi MK4 with QXBA/AZBA engine codes, produced between 2007 and 2014. This unit is a direct replacement for the original equipment part, ensuring correct fitment and optimal performance for 140HP diesel models.

The Garrett GT17V series, known for its variable nozzle turbine (VNT) technology, is a common component in many modern diesel engines. Common failure modes for this specific turbocharger often include the variable vane mechanism seizing due to carbon and soot build-up, leading to significant over-boosting or under-boosting conditions. This can result in reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, and the vehicle entering ‘limp home’ mode. Electronic actuator faults are also prevalent, causing incorrect boost pressure regulation or complete failure of the boost control system. Additionally, wear to the CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly) bearings can result from oil starvation or contamination, manifesting as excessive shaft play, oil leaks into the exhaust or intake, or a distinct whistling or grinding noise from the turbo. These issues can lead to catastrophic turbo failure if not addressed promptly.

What this turbocharger fits

This reconditioned GT17V turbocharger is suitable for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi MK4, covering model years 2007 to 2014. It is compatible with engine codes QXBA and AZBA, found in the 140 horsepower diesel variants. The original equipment part number for this turbo is 763647-5021s, with an alternative Ford part number 7G9Q6K682BD. If your vehicle matches these specifications, this unit is the correct replacement. We recommend cross-referencing your turbo’s part number to ensure 100% compatibility.

At Gap Turbos, we specialise in providing high-quality reconditioned turbochargers. Our comprehensive reconditioning process involves a complete strip-down of the unit, thorough chemical cleaning of all components, and meticulous inspection for wear and damage. All critical wear parts, such as bearings, seals, and thrust collars, are replaced with new, OEM-grade components. The rotating assembly is then dynamically balanced to exacting standards, often surpassing original manufacturer specifications, to ensure smooth operation and longevity. The variable geometry mechanism is painstakingly cleaned, reassembled, and calibrated on a flow bench to guarantee correct boost response. Electronic actuators are rigorously tested and, if faulty, are replaced or repaired as necessary. We also offer new exchange units for certain models, providing a quick solution. Our Birmingham facility provides a professional fitting service, which includes essential diagnostics, oil system flushing, and DPF cleaning where required, to address the root cause of the original turbo failure and prevent recurrence. All our reconditioned turbos come with a comprehensive warranty for your peace of mind. For a precise quote or to discuss your specific requirements, please contact us directly. We’ve been a Birmingham specialist since 1986, ensuring expert service and reliable parts for the UK market.

Common faults & troubleshooting

[‘Lack of power or poor acceleration: Often indicates a seized variable geometry mechanism or a faulty electronic actuator not allowing correct boost pressure.’, “Vehicle in ‘limp home’ mode with engine warning light: Typically points to an electronic actuator fault or severe over/under-boosting issues detected by the ECU.”, ‘Whistling, grinding, or hissing noise from the engine bay: Suggests internal bearing wear within the CHRA or a boost leak from damaged pipework.’, ‘Excessive blue or black smoke from the exhaust: Blue smoke can indicate oil leaking past worn turbo seals into the exhaust, while black smoke often signals over-fuelling or insufficient boost.’, ‘Oil leaks around the turbocharger housing: Can be due to worn oil seals within the CHRA or issues with the oil feed/drain lines.’]

Fitting notes for this unit

[‘Always replace the oil feed pipe: The original oil feed pipe can become carbonised internally, restricting oil flow and leading to premature new turbo failure.’, ‘Thoroughly clean the oil sump and pick-up pipe: Ensure no debris or carbon sludge remains in the oil system to prevent contamination of the fresh oil supply.’, ‘Replace all associated gaskets and seals: Use new gaskets for the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and oil feed/drain lines to prevent leaks.’, ‘Prime the turbo with clean engine oil before first start: Manually fill the oil inlet port with fresh engine oil and rotate the shaft by hand to ensure initial lubrication.’, ‘Check for boost leaks post-installation: Inspect all intake and intercooler pipes for cracks or loose connections that could cause boost pressure loss.’, ‘Run the engine at idle for a few minutes after initial start-up: This allows oil pressure to stabilise and ensures the turbo is fully lubricated before applying load.’]
