Super helpful. Thank you for braving the cold and taking all the extra time to record the important points. I.e. return and feed pipe filters.

Actually good to see someone struggling a bit with poor conditions................just like the average home mechanic

Absolutely excellent video !!! Learn't a huge amount which will save me a fortune. Many thank, this was very much appreciated.

What a man and what a video , absolutely incredible your attention and attitude to anything you are doing . Could do with a lot more people like you . I did a turbo on my Saab 9-3 , and boy what a pig of a job . As always informative and a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work .

excellent tutorial,explained in detail ,the best ive seen so far, keep up the good work and well done.

I got quoted 3000 aud for this job , you’ve saved me a lot of money thank you

This is a great piece of information, I cannot thank you enough. Although I am not an English native , but I understood every word of your presentation. You have indicated to me some preventive checks that need to be done in order to avoid future big maintenance. So thank you.

Really useful video. Learnt a lot about this job. Thanks for your great work. Dave

Great video- thoroughly enjoyed it, I didn’t even get my hands dirty.

The best explanation. Thank you.

Well done! Thanks for the explanations

great video, clear and precise, exactly what I wanted to know, thanks.

Thank you Sir for this excellent video. Well done. I did the same to my Berlingo B9. I was using a 90 degree water nozzle for cleaning the DPF.

Great job, best guide man.. Keep it up

Great video really helpful, I've just done my friends citroen relay 2.0 2017 where the turbo is in the back underneath the van 😢 zero experience and mission accomplished all without taking off the subframe. Thank you so much saved so much money

Great job as always.

Awesome video, really enjoyed this one! I've got a Peugeot 308 with a 1.6 HDI, with now 120,000 miles on the clock. So far it's been excellent and has never let me down. But I also am religious with maintenance! Owned a 406 2.0 HDI before, and I sold that with 196.000 miles on the clock! Again, very reliable! It's obviously only two examples, and I may just be lucky to have reliable examples. Knocking on wood... Thanks for the videos. I've subscribed and I'll definitely continue watching your content. You are incredibly knowlegeable and thorough. You don't see that very often!

Great tutorial. I have to change the turbo on my car too. Thanks.

patience and plenty of tools.. what a great job

awesome video great work , many thanks for your time with this

Great video very informative I’m in the middle of doing this job myself 👍

Really great video. I'm in the process of replacing an oil-leaking turbo and this is helping a lot. Regarding the filter at around 30 minutes, I was told by a Peugeot mechanic that it should be removed since they get clogged all the time and it's better to feed the turbo dirty oil than no oil at all.

Thankyou, I’ve done this job twice, I didn’t know about the sump filter and I missed the small filter inside the lower union bolt. I’ve kept the van unused for6 months so now I’m inspired to try again.

great video.. thanks. In the process of similar work on my car... smoke issuing from turbo

Hi very good video , thanks for making this video.

Lots of work. Well done.

Spot on sir and very thorough! Without many of those checks, further turbo failure is the risk. I have similar job to do on 208 1.4hdi due to actuator spindle leaking exhaust and soot everywhere.

Thanks you for your video and explanations. Good job...really good job. Thanks again 👍👍👍.

another brilliant really informative, helpful video

thank you for the video keep 'em coming

Grate video best mechanic I like all your videos Thanks

Cheers mate, great info

Brilliant DIY video...

bardzo pomocny filmik 👍👌

Great video with lots of detail. Only disappointing part is, I would like to have seen you start it and would like to have heard it running.

Thanks now know what to watch out for on my c4 diesel big believer in preventative maintenance

Thank you for making the Video - I was almost ready to buy a Peugeot with a 1.6 HDI in it, glad now I got curious about what HDI stood for, as it led me to finding out about the turbo problems. just read about it before watching your video - the nut coming off and why, and there in your vid so it is, a lose nut - 2/ The Turbine nut fell off or came loose? " In some cases new or old the nut on the turbine can come off, first instinct is to think that it was not screwed on properly in the first place but this is where most people are wrong. The nut on the turbine for these HDI engines is self-tightening and from new is only hand tight. The reason for this is as the turbine goes round (when the turbo is active on the vehicle) it tightens the nut because the travel in opposite directions. If your nut should come off the most likely reason is down to oil blockage normally from carbon build up once again?? Why and how you ask? Well as the carbon blocks the bearings the turbine should not turn properly or in some case if the bearing have gone it may not turn at all. This will then cause the nut to stop tightening. When this happens there normally is a lot of vibration which over a short amount of time loosens the nut till it eventually comes off." hyperchips.co.uk/how-to-prevent-common-turbo-failures-with-the-peugeot-citroen-ford-hdi-engine/

Great Video, learnt a lot, to talk to mechanics about it. My turbo has gone the same way as on this video an 08 plate with 70k on the clock I’ve also been told if the nuts come off it could be in the engine making it pretty much a right off :-( or in the filter box and I’ve been quoted from £500 to £1500 to get the job done.

Thank you very much for this video. Here in France we had several AWFUL news (car accidents caused many deaths ) because of failing turbo system.

That was a big job well done.

Thanks for the video.

Brilliant video

good video easy step by step, apart from installing the turbo cartridge, but overall nice job

Thanks for this lession

They are nice to do , always have to remove sump and replace pickup common to be blocked up or cracked great vid :)

Great video

My Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDi has been whining for the last couple of days, so I think I'm going to have to do this job pretty soon - and this video will be a very good guide. Thanks hugely for posting it

Nice job. Glad I’m not the only one whose “I’m gonna try and do this by removing less parts as possible” plan goes to crap ... 😁

Great video.

Great video, very complete and loads of information about the turbo fitting. Well done, congrats!!! How did you cleaned the dpf? Thanks mate, well done!

saw a little less. thank you. I myself have my turbo replaced from my peugeot 407. with much less to disconnect. thank you

well done, gut gemacht +++++

Many thanks really interesting

thank you my friend I'm so happy for your ansower another question about immobiliser how to read pin code immo opel astra g ? I have a vag tacho opel immo can you do it this operation think you very much and I wich good for you

Good job! Why don’t you take the filter out of the banjo nut? This little .... causes turbo failure when blocked.

great work man i love citeroin videos mine c4 grand picasso 2014 but i wish if yo show us how you clean dpf

Brilliant.

good job friend

My friend has the same issue with this engine. I called a turbo charger remanufaturer. They say the turbo dies mostly because of the filter in the hollow screw. It is adviced to remove the filter on a new screw. Another major issue comes from the oil pan. Because the oil cant be drained fully because of the design of the oil pan. ~0,5L of oil stay in the pan. So oil sut builds up. When alot of oil sut hits the filter in the screw, the turbo dies because of oil starvation. -Thank you PSA.

Excellent videos but for people learning, it would be nice to see all the steps done even the taking off of parts and putting back together! Love your videos tho!

Great content thanks, I have ordered a Garrett core for my turbo and will be doing the "LM Auto" repair on mine. I'm not looking forward it tho

Very important

Great content :-)

Very good instructional videos. Picking one of these cars up next week so your videos will come in handy for future repairs. Do you source your parts online or from a local factor?

A local turbo dealer sayd, that no warranty when the oil feed filter is not removed. Good intentions from the enginers, but we know, how it will end with the 20k miles oil service interwals.

is it the same the other side of turbo alluminum case a guide to where the cartridge locks in thanks

Bought a Peugeot 308 with this engine. It had a brand new Turbo fitted when I bought it . It had the bill with all work carried out when turbo was replaced. The turbo blew again within a month. My advice, unless this engine has been meticulously maintained to a high level , avoid . Once they blow a turbo they are likely to blow another no matter what you do. These engines do not tolerate any sort of neglect and once they are clogged up a total strip down is the only way to put it right.

hi another question, i got as far as ready to remove the front heat shield, and even with the dpf pipes released i could not get it out, is there a trick im missing thanks

Thanks for great video. I have the same problem with the nut that came loose, but how do you clean the inter cooler and the DPF, and with what?

Great video, many thanks. I could not quite understand if you removed the front heatshield from top of the engine or from the bottom?

This looks a daunting job, I'm in two minds on doing mine after I've just spent £510 putting it through an MOT & now the turbo has gone, also has DPF issues, I'm mechanically minded but don't have patience for big jobs on cars, this looks like a big job, great video though thanks

very good video awesome work it's very time consuming making a video while doing the job and explaining every nut and bolt. great stuff. i have 1.6 hdi Citroen c4. i think turbo is over raving when gears changed. what kind of problem is this. thank you in advance.

very helpful video . if i do want to start crying

I was thinking of get one of these , I don't think I'll bother . 🤔

What size are the studs that hold the exhaust part onto the manifold, 10mm seems to small and 11mm to big?

Great video, very helpful, how did you clean the DPF ? Is it just soot that's in it, or oil and soot ? What would happen if you didn't clean it ?

Hi....really appreciate your video's, we're abouts are you based?

The Peugeot dealer workshop manual states that the metal mesh/filter/screen should be removed from the bolt before installation, as it is known to clog up and starve the turbo of oil. You can either remove the metal mesh yourself or purchase the new bolt which doesn't have metal mesh. If you have a turbo failure due to oil starvation, the oil feed tube should also be replaced with a new one, as it's only about GBP25.

Brilliant video, I have done this twice and the turbo failed. Now I know why, I didn’t know about the sump or the small filter in the lower bolt so I’m about to try again. Can you tell me what you cleaned the particle filter with and also how did you clean the inter cooler. Thank you.

Great video, i have few questions. How did you clean dpf and is this same engine as in xsara picasso?

Best way to check is disconnect the injectors undo the bolt on turbo slighty turn it over and oil should spit out,

Very good video - what did you use to clean the dpf? A pressure washer to flush it through? Also how did you clean the intercooler? With water or thinners? Thank you

Watched another vid on this and it recommended removing the particle filter totally and blanking off the egr valve after doing the work you showed us and then getting it remapped ? I value would your opinion on this

Hi, Very useful video, I usually do small repairs in my C4 but I'm gonna need to replace turbo soon. It looks like not the easiest one. I would like to ask you what faults needs clearing after such repair. Thank You and keep up with good work.

What nm torque is the top and down oil pipe screws?

Thanks for another great video - just watched a 2nd time. Dumb question - would it be feasible/easier to leave the exhaust bolted up and attach the new cassette - seemed like a lot of effort to get it off - though much of that might be necessary to clean the dpf. Also - have you ever used a cheap endoscope camera to look inside the sump through sump plug - might be able to check state of pickup filter before removing sump. Similarly, you could back flush the pickup pipe with diesel if you took the oil pump off. I can see however that it might well be quicker to drop the sump and "do the job properly".

hello my friend!excellent video good job!do you have any site/link you buy the new part's? thanks!

Thank you very much for your hard work in trying to show problems etc. Could you do it again with daylight and good lighting.lol.(Just Joking). Well,am thinking of buying the 2.0ltr version,does it have a turbo.??. If it has will pull that pipe off and have a look,it will only take a few minutes.. Well done anyway mate,thank you..

also a gauze filter on vacum pump on side of engine mine was blocked, i also removed the feed gauze mine wasnt blocked but brittle and fell apart in my hand

Hiya IMsvvavr I like this video as its my next project after Ive fixed my grandaughter Agila. I have the peugeot 307 1.6 hdi that I got off my younger daughter. It was running rough so investigated the turbo was just about running but is caked in solid carbon so thanks for that video looked at a few helping bits am going to video it as its so bad. One thing on this I could ask is how furred up was the inlet manifold On my daughters is was thick with carbon and oil. I was unsure what I could use for cleaning it as its plastic. i was unsure if chemicals would effect the plastic what did you use to clean your plastic parts. many thanks Colin

Good video! Where did you buy the new parts? Link?

Hi another good video.I have one question don't new turbos have to be balanced on special machine.

would you add a OIL CATCH CAN or Air-Oil Separator to keep what the turbo is pulling in cleaner ?

Just what i was looking for thanks. Could you tell me what nuts/bolts were used to fix the dpf in place, had the car in service and they somehow forgot those.

thank you for making this video. Its very clear and useful. I have the same engine in my 2008 mini R56. I would be interested to know, now i have cleaned the DPF filter with pressure washer, how to get the excess water out (I just left it to drain upside down) and I forgot to note how the DPF seals are positioned ? Kind regards

take out the filter in the bolt , the oil went true a filter already, its not going to be a problem

great vid.....can you explain how you can just remove turbo without having take dpf off as it looks like one of the bolts of the turbo is restricted and hard to get to with dpf filter flange in the way

Taking off the exhaust shield really sucks 😂

cylinder head needs cleaning and valves cleaned and reseated and valve stem oil seals replaced...inlet manifold needs a deep clean as full of crud and carbon also egr pipe,egr valve...electro valve and its pipe need cleaning...if you dont do what i say your problems come back...i am doing my engine now, but i am fully stripping and rebuilding due to carbon build up everywhere...mine has 115k miles on it...you wont believe how dirty inside engines get courtesy of that damn egr valve...i recommend blanking the egr and taking your car to a ecu tuner and have the egr deleted from the system....doing this completely ends the carbon problem on all cars...also allways remove the small gauze filter in side the lower banjo bolt as this is the turbo killer aswell...even peugeot do this now...

What key I need to remove intake pipe from turbo?
