406 Dud Turbo

Hello again,
As you may know I have a 1996 406 2ltr petrol turbo, I am just back from my
weekend holiday and when driving my car home I have found that it seems the
turbo doesn't work anymore. The car runs ok but the torque is crap !! I
know a little about engines but nothing about turbo's is there any one who
could help me out with what to check first ? any help greatly appreciated
( I have a Haynes manual with the turbo diesel but don't know if they are
the same )
Thanks
Steven

 

I believe the diesel is a Garrett T3 Turbo, couldn't tell you about the
petrol.

Hi

I can tell you my mate who works for Peugeot replaced 3 of these XU10J2TE
turbos last year, All 3 where seized.

Have you checked all the hoses? I cant really remember off hand but isn't
there an electronic sensor to do with the turbo that can fail & kill all
the power?

The turbo is Peugeot part number 0375 69 if that helps

 

Thanks that does help
I am going to try and strip it out over the next few days and look for the
sensor you mention (fingers crossed)
I will let u know how I get on
thanks again

 

Have a read of http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm

 

Hi Steven

Aparently it is very common for these to seize on the 2ltr petrols - I know
you can fit a hybrid one instead but afraid I don't know any details...
