Description
This product listing details a reconditioned Garrett GT15V turbocharger, specifically designed for the Citroen C4 1.6 HDi (110 HP) models produced between 2004 and 2011, featuring the 9HZ (DV6TED4) engine code. As a variable nozzle turbine (VNT) unit, it provides optimal boost across the engine’s RPM range, crucial for the efficient operation of these diesel engines.
Common failure modes for this GT15V turbocharger typically involve the variable vane mechanism. Due to the nature of diesel combustion, soot accumulation can seize the vanes, leading to over-boosting or under-boosting conditions. Electronic actuator faults are also prevalent, as the actuator controls the vane movement; a faulty actuator can result in incorrect boost pressure readings and engine management light illumination. Furthermore, like all turbochargers, the Central Housing Rotating Assembly (CHRA) bearings are susceptible to wear, often caused by insufficient or contaminated oil supply, leading to excessive shaft play and potential contact between the compressor/turbine wheels and their housings.
At Gap Turbos, we offer a comprehensive service for this unit. Our reconditioned turbochargers undergo a rigorous process: full disassembly, inspection, cleaning, replacement of all worn parts with OE-quality components, and rebalancing of the CHRA to factory specifications. We also offer new exchange units for quicker turnaround, and our Birmingham workshop provides a professional fitting service, including thorough system cleaning to prevent recurrence of previous failures.

Common faults & troubleshooting
[‘* Lack of power or poor acceleration: Indicates seized variable vanes (VNT) or a faulty electronic actuator, preventing correct boost pressure.’, ‘* Whining or whistling noise from engine bay: Suggests excessive shaft play in the turbocharger, indicating worn bearings.’, ‘* Excessive smoke from exhaust (blue/black): Blue smoke points to oil burning from worn turbo seals, while black smoke can indicate over-fuelling or incorrect boost.’, “* Engine management light (EML) illuminated with boost-related fault codes: Often an electronic actuator fault or a problem with the VNT mechanism’s operation range.”, ‘* Oil leaks around the turbocharger connections: Could be failed oil seals within the turbo or loose/damaged oil feed/drain lines.’]
Fitting notes for this unit
[‘* Always replace the engine oil and oil filter before fitting the new/reconditioned turbocharger to ensure a clean oil supply.’, ‘* Thoroughly clean or replace the oil feed pipe to the turbocharger; these are prone to carbon build-up and blockages on the DV6TED4 engine.’, ‘* Ensure all intake and exhaust pipework is free from debris and blockages; check the intercooler for oil contamination.’, ‘* Use new gaskets and seals for all connections (exhaust manifold, downpipe, oil feed/drain, compressor outlet) to prevent leaks.’, ‘* Prior to the first start, crank the engine without firing for 10-15 seconds to allow oil to circulate and prime the turbocharger bearings.’, ‘* Check the banjo bolt on the oil feed pipe is correctly torqued and that any restrictor within it is clear, as blockages here are a common cause of premature failure.’]

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.
