If you own a Peugeot Expert from 2016 onwards, you may encounter a turbo fault at some point. Recognizing the symptoms early can save you time and money. Drawing from my 15 years of experience as a master technician in the UK, I'll guide you through what the issue might be, what likely causes it, and how it can typically be resolved.
When your Peugeot Expert's turbo is failing, several signs might alert you. The most obvious is a significant loss in engine power, making your van feel sluggish during acceleration. You might also hear unusual noises from the engine area, specifically a high-pitched whine or sputtering sounds. Additionally, if your exhaust starts emitting blue or grey smoke, it's a clear indicator that your turbocharger could be in trouble.
Several factors could lead to a turbocharger malfunction in your Peugeot Expert. Frequently, it stems from a lack of proper lubrication; either the oil isn't reaching the turbo as it should, or it’s contaminated. Another common cause is the accumulation of dirt and debris, which can block the turbo's components and reduce its efficiency. An aged or damaged turbocharger can also simply be the result of general wear and tear over time.
Repairing a turbo fault involves a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact cause of the problem. This might mean checking the turbocharger for blockages, inspecting the oil feed lines for leaks, or ensuring no foreign objects have caused internal damage. Depending on the severity of the damage, the turbo may need to be repaired or completely replaced. This process can be not only time-consuming but costly as well, depending on the extent of the fault.
Given the complexity and potential high costs of fixing a turbo fault in your Peugeot Expert, you might find yourself facing a tough decision. Is it worth repairing, or could you be better off selling your van?

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.
