ben Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i everyone Td5 51 plate 67000 on the clock and the turbo boost as dropped off. Not really getting any boost unless i give the old girl everything she's got in every gear and you only feel a bit of boost. Has the turbo come to the end of its life or is there more of a problem. Any help would be great before my wallet has to tell me the problem. Thanks ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 examine the boost pipe along it's lentgh, it may have a hole or split in it & check the intercooler hoses & air intake hoses too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 On the Td5 defender the nearside boost hose has a habbit of rubbing on a wing bolt when expanded on boost , This wears them a bit thin and leaky .The turbos generaly dont give much problem if regularly serviced with good quality oil .

Porny Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 On the Td5 defender the nearside boost hose has a habbit of rubbing on a wing bolt when expanded on boost , This wears them a bit thin and leaky .The turbos generaly dont give much problem if regularly serviced with good quality oil . Have seen that a few times lately.... Other things that could be causing problems: Failed Pipework (as above) - I have even seen a pipe which had delaminated internally so you had a flap hanging down. Failed MAP sensor (one on the intake manifold) - or it's full of crud from the EGR set-up. Cracked or partially siezed wastegate - allowing exhaust gas to bypass the impeller rather than making it spin. Split intercooler!! (again, have seen this quite a few times - both standard and some aftermarket ones suffer) Failed EGR Valve Blocked Air Filter Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bean Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If you suspect a leaky hose it's an excuse to get some Samco Hoses...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
