As a seasoned mechanic with over 15 years of experience under my belt, I've come to know the ins and outs of various van issues, including the notorious turbo fault in the Ford Transit Custom models ranging from 2012 to the present. Many van owners have come across this frustrating problem, and I'm here to shed some light on what it entails.
A turbo fault in your Ford Transit Custom can manifest through a few noticeable signs. You might experience a significant drop in engine power, which can feel like the van is struggling to accelerate or maintain speed. There might also be an unusual amount of smoke coming from the exhaust, which can vary in color from blue to grey. An increase in engine noise, particularly a whining sound when accelerating, is a common indicator that something might be amiss with the turbo.
This specific turbo issue often stems from several potential causes. It could be as simple as normal wear and tear, especially in vans that have high mileage. Oil starvation, where the turbo doesn't receive the necessary lubrication, or using incorrect engine oil can also lead to turbo failure. Furthermore, the buildup of deposits within the turbo system might clog and damage it over time.
Addressing a turbo fault involves a few detailed steps, starting with a thorough diagnosis to confirm the issue. This diagnosis might include checking the turbo system for any leaks or blockages, assessing the oil feed lines for clogs, and ensuring the turbocharger's blades are intact and functioning. Once the problem is pinpointed, the repair might range from replacing the oil feed lines to installing a new turbocharger, depending on the severity of the damage.
Repairing a turbo fault, especially if it's a severe case, can be quite costly and time-consuming. Plus, there's always the risk of future complications with other engine components.

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.
