If you own a Mitsubishi L200 from between 2006 and 2015, you might encounter a common issue known as the turbo fault. As a seasoned master tech mechanic with 15 years of experience, I've come across this issue quite a few times and have gained valuable insights into its symptoms, probable causes, and the repair processes involved.
The Mitsubishi L200 turbo fault typically presents a few noticeable symptoms that signal a problem. You might experience a significant loss of power, increased exhaust smoke, abnormal noises from the turbo, and sometimes an engine management light that won't go away. These signs indicate that the vehicle's efficiency is compromised and it might require immediate attention.
Several factors can lead to a turbocharger failure in your Mitsubishi L200. Frequent causes include:
- Oil starvation: Insufficient lubrication can cause the turbo to wear out prematurely.
- Poor maintenance: Not changing the oil or filters regularly can lead to accumulations that damage the turbo.
- Foreign object damage: Sometimes, debris or small particles can enter the turbo and cause mechanical damage.
- Age and wear: Simply due to the age of the Mitsubishi L200 models from 2006 to 2015, the turbo components could be worn out.
The repair process for a turbo fault often involves diagnostic tests to determine the extent of damage, followed by either repairing the existing turbo or replacing it with a new one. This process can be both time-consuming and expensive, depending on the severity of the fault and the parts availability.
Is it worth repairing the turbo fault, or should you consider other options? Repairing a Mitsubishi L200 turbo can be costly and, given the age of the vehicle, other issues may soon arise. This is where selling your van might be a sensible alternative. By selling your Mitsubishi L200, you can avoid the hassle and expense of repairs and quickly move into a newer, more reliable vehicle.

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.
