If you're driving a Renault Kangoo from the years 2008 to 2020 and you're noticing some issues with performance, you might be experiencing a turbo fault. As a mechanic with over 15 years of experience in the field, I'll help walk you through what this problem means, what could potentially be causing it, and how it can be resolved.
The turbocharger is a vital component that boosts engine efficiency and performance by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber. However, when it fails, it can significantly affect your van's functionality. Common symptoms of a turbo fault include reduced engine power, excessive exhaust smoke, abnormal noises from the turbo, and the engine warning light turning on. If you notice your Renault Kangoo struggling to maintain speed, especially under load, or if it seems unusually sluggish, these could be telling signs that the turbo is in distress.
Causes of turbo failure often stem from a few common issues: oil contamination, oil starvation, foreign object damage inside the turbo, or simple wear and tear over time. Each of these scenarios can severely impact the turbo's ability to function correctly.
Addressing a turbo fault in a Renault Kangoo usually starts with an in-depth diagnostic to accurately identify the core issue. If the turbocharger is damaged, the repair process can be quite intricate and costly, often involving the replacement of the turbo itself along with various associated components. This could include replacing oil feed lines, checking and possibly replacing the intercooler, and ensuring the engine management software is up to date.
Considering the complexity and potential costs associated with repairing a turbo fault, you might wonder if it’s worth the hassle. This is where choosing to sell your Renault Kangoo could be a sensible option. At Vandervan, we understand the challenges of dealing with such faults. We offer a straightforward, quick solution where you can receive a quote in 30 seconds and have your van collected the next day from anywhere in the UK.

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.
