Want to avoid or prevent turbo failure in the 1.6HDi or 1.6TDCi engines, this is the video for you!
The car is a turbo diesel 1.6HDi Peugeot Partner (2007; M59; ~106,000 miles), the same as a Citroen Berlingo. This should be fairly the same in 1.6 TDCi engines, as in Ford, but also Mazda 3, Mini Cooper Diesel, Suzuiki, Volvo.
I will explain in the video the two main reasons behind the turbo failures in these engines. The primary reason for the turbo failure is the injector copper seals. This alone covers more than 90% of all turbo failures in the 1.6HDi/TDCi engines. The second reason is the use of incorrect oil in these engines.
I will also show you what you can practically do to prevent these turbo failures. In other words, tightening the injector stud nuts. The stud nuts are 7mm allen key.
Thank you very much indeed to @projectfearn for the still image of the tar around the injectors. Really appreciated. Make sure to check projectfearn's video of changing the injector seals in his 1.6HDi Citroen Berlingo (https://youtu.be/J-QJg9aC6vs).
