If you're driving a Fiat Fiorino from 2008 onwards, you might encounter a turbocharger malfunction. As a UK-based master technician with over fifteen years of experience, I've seen this issue multiple times, so let's dive into what might be causing this, the symptoms to look out for, and the usual repair process.
The turbocharger is pivotal in enhancing engine efficiency and performance by forcing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber. However, several factors can lead to its malfunction in the Fiat Fiorino. These issues commonly stem from poor maintenance practices, such as irregular oil changes or using incorrect oil types, which may result in oil starvation. Another prevalent cause is the buildup of debris or foreign particles that can damage the turbo’s internal components.
Here are a few symptoms that might indicate a turbo fault in your Fiorino: - Noticeable decrease in engine power - Increased exhaust smoke that is often grey or blue - Louder than usual noise coming from the turbo - The engine warning light on your dashboard might illuminate
Addressing a turbo fault typically involves inspecting the turbo system thoroughly, which might include checking and possibly replacing damaged components such as the turbocharger itself, and the surrounding pipes and intercoolers. Ensuring the inner workings are free of debris and the oil supply is adequate are also critical steps in the resolution of this issue. Often, this might involve quite complex and costly repairs, depending on the extent of the damage.
Considering the complexity and potential cost of repairing a turbo fault in a Fiat Fiorino, you might find it more sensible to sell your vehicle rather than investing in hefty repairs.

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.
