Signs your turbo is failing

A failing turbo usually gives warning. Nearly every modern diesel and a growing share of petrol engines have one.

A whine or siren noiseRises with the revs.
Loss of powerOr the car drops into limp mode.
Blue or black smokeFrom the exhaust.
Using more oilTopping up more than usual.

Why we diagnose before we replace

Turbos rarely die of old age alone. They are killed by oil starvation (blocked feed pipes, long service intervals, the wrong oil), oil contamination, a blocked DPF raising exhaust back pressure, or debris entering the intake. Fit a new turbo without fixing the cause and it fails the same way.

New or reconditioned, your choice

Depending on the engine we can quote the options below. We lay out the price difference and the warranty on each so you can choose with the facts.

Genuine OEMThe manufacturer’s own part.
Quality aftermarketSame fit, usually less money.
Reconditioned exchangeGood value with a proper warranty. A cheap unbranded one is a gamble.

Parts come with a 12 month manufacturer warranty (varies by part).

Frequently asked questions

Can I drive with a failing turbo?

Gently and briefly at most. If it fails hard it can dump oil into the engine or send debris through the intake, turning a turbo bill into an engine bill. Limp mode is the car protecting itself. Listen to it.

Why did my turbo fail?

Most often oil starvation or contamination, a blocked DPF, or ingested debris. Finding out is part of the job here, otherwise the new turbo inherits the same death sentence.

Reconditioned or new, which should I choose?

A quality recon unit with a proper warranty can be excellent value. A cheap unbranded recon is a gamble. We quote both, with the warranty terms side by side.

How much is a replacement turbo?

It ranges widely by engine and by new versus recon, which is why diagnosis comes first, then an exact written quote with the options side by side.

Excellent service, I had been having problems with my car radio screen for nearly a year, I took it to them and they found the problem straight away and fixed it for me and claimed it on my warranty and I didn’t have to do anything. Also had a service and 2 tyres.They were so helpful, I was very pleased. It feels like I’ve got a new car!

I recently used GT Automotive for a repair through a warranty claim. Matt was very helpful and explained the process. Unfortunately there were some delays for the repair to be done through no fault of the garage but through the warranty company. Matt kept me updated and fought my case for the claim, eventually got the repairs approved and got my car fixed as quick as they could. I've had a hard time in the past finding a garage I can trust, but these are very genuine and I will be using them for all my car needs going forward, and already have my next Service and MOT booked in.
