BSF Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 OK, it's not actually in a Defender, but it came out of one. Turbo working and then suddenly not working, no bangs or noises, just doesn't work. I have a boost gauge that reads zero and engine lacks power. All hoses and pipes still connected, but cold. On inspection I found that the waste gate control connection had fallen apart and a bit was missing, but wherever I put the waste gate by hand there is no pressure on the gauge. Any ideas short of replacement? How much of the turbo do you get with the replacement cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Have you got a pic of what's there so we can work out what's missing? I don't think you get any wastegate, actuator parts with a cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKeymeister Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Having just bought a cartridge for my 200tdi (which turned out to be the wrong one, got a 300 one!) I can confirm all I got was a cartridge - no new gaskets, o-rings, retaining brackets, nuts, bolts, studs, or anything else you'd need when changing the cartridge....

The only thing you need in addition to the cartridge itself is the compressor housing o-ring and that always comes with them. There is no "need" to unbolt any other parts.
