 Hi this might help somebody.

The Garrett GT1544V Turbocharger is fitted to the 1.6HDi engines used in the C4 and various Fords and Volvos.

There is a UK based supplier of spare parts with ample stocks should anyone need to repair/overhaul a unit.

Try Turborebuild.co.uk - Click Here - is an example of a kit of parts.

Regards
G

 I think rebuilding a turbo is best left to the specialists.

 Hi all, just looking at the parts costs on the website:-

New Compressor wheel £50, New Turbine and shaft £100, bearings and seals kit £50, Plus they offer balancing for £40.

Assuming casings, inlet guide vanes are OK, thats a refurbished Turbo for £200. Worth a go??

Regards

 Sounds a lot cheaper than a new turbo!

...and if it all falls apart you may need a new engine!

You can get recon turbos ready to go for under £400 for the 2.0HDi and they will be cheaper for the 1.6HDi.
