  • Are you worried your turbo might be on the way out? This is how to check. I will show you what is an acceptable radial and axial turbo shaft play in the 1.6HDi and 1.6TDCi engines. This is applicable to Peugeot, Citroen, Ford, Volvo, Mini, Mazda 3, etc.
    Some radial play is acceptable with no axial play.
    Car is Peugeot Partner 2007, 90,000 miles or ~145,000 km, no fap/dpf, 90bhp, original garrett turbo.

    thanks for your video i have no experience of what is normal but i am glad i viewed this before inspecting my tucbocharger - i would have been very alarmed at that radial play when i would have expected it to be neglible in a good unit. every day a school day!

      This is generally normal, of course it depends on how much. Generally the PCV valve will spew some oil vapor and some actual oil in the air intake going to the turbo. This is to relieve pressure inside of the engine. I would only worry if the engine is burning too much oil, then this might be too much blow-by from worn engine.

    consider that the oil pressure once the engine is rotating will center the shaft.

    That is good info, my turbo has more or less the same movement. Im wondering if you have the size of the membrane inside the pcv valve and the procedure for dissasembly. It's very diffcult to find in my country and the entire piece is to expensive. Thanks.

      Thanks for the heads up. The PCV membrane is exactly 5cm outside diameter with the lip being 2mm. I have a video of how I replaced it: ua-cam.com/video/B4R7Mi1RcEQ/v-deo.html , but I was not really successful at all. I broke nearly all plastic holder things. Somebody commented to get the engine hot or apply some heat to the pcv and/or apply silicone spray. I suspect with heat it may work. Good luck.

      Hi! With my car, there were leaks on the plastic manifold to head connection. There are rubber o rings- they start to leak. And after injectors being removed, the injectror bolts where they are screwed in head, were leaking. The best way to find a leak is to clean area with brake cleaner and later on watch, where oil will apear. @@dieseltips

I did succesfully removed the pcv cap, but I could not record the process in video, I took some pictures that I will put in a video later.

    • @moremolecules
      @moremolecules  5 років тому +2

      Depends on when you check the turbo shaft play. If it is on a warm engine, there will be little play. It also depends on the state of the turbo and engine mileage of course. Little movement is good. Oil around turbo can come from two sources, one is the crankcase breather, which is normal. Second one is from the turbo itself, that is not good and I am yet to understand is little oil passing the seals is normal. Generally there will be oil from the crankcase breather around the turbo. Excessive amount is not too good. Check the crancase breather tube and you will see oil there or the air pipe going to the turbo.

    Hi, I wonder if I should replace turbo in my peugeot 5008 1.6hdi - turbo charger doesn't have any radial play, but it does have axial play, plus all surrounding area is wet in oil - I've asked in service center, but they said "it's just getting sweated up and i should not worry too much about it" - I would rather prevent disaster replacing it too early than waiting for catastrophic failure - what is your opinion on this?

    • @moremolecules
      @moremolecules  2 роки тому

      It really depends on the milleage and how much the play is. If it does not consume oil between oil changes, say you do not top too much oil in a year or ~10,000miles or -16,000km then it should still be alright. The surrounding area it is a bit difficult to know for certain without further investigation where it is coming from. It could be from the crankcase rather than the turbo. Does it blow blue smoke when you give it high rpm under load?
      If oil changes are frequent (milleage and/or based on time, whichever comes first), then there is not much to worry about.

    • @gyorka
      @gyorka 2 роки тому

      @@moremolecules Thanks! Car is used on longer trips (200km a trip, perhaps 2000km per month) and serviced as scheluded. Turbine looks oily from the intake and there are oily strains on wastegate servo and down the engine compartment. Air path after the turbo looks oily too down to air inlet into engine. If I had to say something about the amount of that axial play i would say that this is something between 1-3mm on cold engine. In the direction of air filter everything is oily too - I guess this is why you've installed oil catch can. I've already replaced air filter, fuel filter and egr valve that was giving me some error codes in that car and I don't really enjoy lack of space and access to anything. Heat plugs were replaced in the car shop, as I didn't feel like capable of doing this myself (due to very limited space and the placement of these plugs) and they destroyed some plastic covers in the process.

    • @moremolecules
      @moremolecules  2 роки тому

      @@gyorka Yes, that is why I installed an oil catch can. In general you would get a bit of oil from the crankcase and everything down from that (turbo, intercooler, etc.) will have oil film. Air will flow from the filter to the turbo, so even if the turbo spews a bit of oil it will not go towards the air filter and air intake. It is likely that it comes from the crankcase. If it is dripping onto the wastegate, then see if the rubber seal is intact on the air intake to the turbo joint. These are prone to have splits and it will not seal properly, so air is not measured correctly. It could be that the CCV valve is ruptured, but that is a bit of a guess and it may not be the case. It could be that the engine is a bit worn (depends on milleage) and having a bit of excess breathing, so inevitable some oil will go from the crankcase to the turbo.
      1-3mm is quite a bit, but depending on the engine (VNT vs. fixed geometry turbo) this might be alright. New turbo is a bit expensive and it depends on whether you plan on keeping the car a lot longer.
      Regular oil changes, maybe a bit shorter interval is probably the best thing to do, unless you want to invest in a new turbo.

    • @gyorka
      @gyorka 2 роки тому

      @@moremolecules I'll start with inspecting seals, as I don't know from where exacly this oil is leaking. It looks like top of the turbo is dry, where down part is dipping with oil. Perhaps oil return pipe or its sealing is somewhat damaged leading to this situation. Car has 250000km on its odometer and i belive this is correct. We use to have our cars till they start to rust, so I don't mind investing a bit of money into them. All I'm worried is miserable access to the heat shield bolts when replacing the cartridge, and from the experience with other cars we had everything takes much longer than planned, plus you often find yourself lacking some tool that is a game stopper untill it arrives or is made. I wonder if this could leak from the wastegate rod entrance downwards, but again. i'm in the office and car is several km away ;) I really apreciate all your work and videos on this channel - it was and continues to be valuable source of information

    • @gyorka
      @gyorka 2 роки тому

      OK, so i've been able to take a closer look at this, and it seems that my trouble originated with oil supply pipe failure - it's quite loose on both ends and there is quite of a play at the visible end - banjo bolt is tightened, but the pipe itself is flapping loose in its ending piece. My asumption is that turbine cartridge got insufficient lubrication and axle worn out. I didn't dissasemble exhaust side, but what i've seen pushes me into replacing whole assembly rather than just the core cartridge - whole thing seems to be a bit more complicated than in your Partner, and buying parts separatly will be more expensive than getting replacement turbo. Hopefully this will be doable in a garage with trench. Thanks!

      THere need to be some tolerances for heat expansion contraction, hence there will always be some play. It cannot be super tight when cold and then when it heats up will expand and stop spinning from the friction.
