If you own a Mercedes Citan from the 2012 model year onwards, you might encounter a turbo fault during its lifespan. Having spent over a decade and a half as a master tech mechanic, I have come across many such issues, and I understand how critical, yet frustrating, they can be.
Identifying a turbo fault early can be the key to preventing further damage. Common symptoms include reduced engine performance, a higher-than-usual intake of engine oil, unusual noises from the engine compartment during acceleration, and sometimes, visible exhaust smoke. If you notice your Mercedes Citan exhibiting any of these signs, it might suggest that the turbocharger is failing.
The causes behind turbocharger failures in Mercedes Citan models from 2012 onward can vary. Often, it might be due to oil starvation, which can occur if the oil is not changed frequently enough or if the oil levels are not properly maintained. Another potential cause can be the deposition of contaminants in the engine oil, which can damage the turbo's components over time. Furthermore, general wear and tear as the vehicle ages is a natural contributor to turbo faults.
Repairing a turbo fault typically involves diagnosing the extent of the problem, which usually requires professional assessment. This could include checking the turbo system for leaks, examining the turbo hardware, and evaluating the oil feed lines for blockages or leaks. Depending on the diagnosis, the repair might be as simple as replacing the turbocharger or as complex as overhauling relevant engine components.
Considering the complexity and potential costs associated with repairing a turbo fault, you might wonder whether it's more sensible to sell your vehicle. This is where Vandervan can step in.

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.
