As a seasoned master technician specializing in Citroen vehicles, I've encountered numerous cases of turbocharger issues in the Citroen Dispatch models from 2016 onwards. This problem can be both frustrating and costly for van owners. Below, I will outline the common symptoms, likely causes, and the typical repair process for a turbo fault in these vehicles.
The first sign of a turbo fault in your Citroen Dispatch might be a noticeable loss of power, especially under heavy acceleration. You may also hear a distinct whining sound from the engine area, experience increased exhaust smoke, or notice that your engine’s fuel efficiency is not what it used to be. These symptoms can suddenly turn a reliable van into a source of stress and uncertainty.
The root causes of turbocharger failures often include oil starvation, oil contamination, and foreign objects entering the turbo. Poor maintenance can lead to the oil issues, while a damaged air filter or intake might allow debris to compromise the turbo's intricate mechanics. Regularly checking and replacing the oil, air filters, and ensuring that the turbo system is free from debris can help in preventing such issues.
Repairing a turbo fault often involves a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause of failure. Depending on the damage, the turbo may need to be either repaired or completely replaced. It's important to handle these components with care and precision, often making the repair process both time-consuming and expensive.
Dealing with a turbo fault in your Citroen Dispatch can be daunting. The costs for repair and the vehicle downtime can make it less economical to keep the van, especially if other issues might arise in the future. Have you considered selling your van instead?

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.

Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
