Turbo change query
Hey all. The turbo has been whistling for a while now so think I should probably change it in case it decides to get worse on me. Am I right in thinking the Mondeo/Focus 2.0tdci engine is basically the same engine as the 2.0d v50 lump? If so would the turbos be the same? Only asking as the ford turbos look exactly the same but are half the price of the volvo equivalents! I'm pretty sure they're the same but anyone who knows for sure could drop some knowledge that would be much appreciated

It is extremely rare for the turbo's to 'fail' or 'wear out' - not unless the car has been horribly neglected (no oil changes ever) etc..
Turbo 'whistle' noise can be down to air or exhaust leakage (the exhaust flexi pipe for example) or loose air piping. A turbo 'siren' sound is very often a sign of a blocked DPF if you have one. I would not look at replacing the turbo unless you are 100% sure it's damaged/worn/excessive bearing play.

Back to the original question, any ideas if a ford 2.0tdci of similar year (2008) would have the same turbo? Think it'a a GT1749 on the Mondeo I've seen but looks identical to the volvo ones |

If it is any use to you I had to have the turbo replaced on my C30 2.0D, it just gave up the ghost. Fortunately I had paid for a warranty and it was replaced for me, however they used a remanufactured replacement from a company called Ivor Searle. The units have a two year warranty and my car drives better than even before the old one failed, I guess it was on its way out anyway. Ivor Searle have a website so you can see for yourself what they offer.

whatever you do dont go anywhere near the chinese junk on ebay/amazon you be lucky if it lasts 1k and the warranties are useless. One guy maxspeedingrods Mine blew up at 1200mls due to shaft failure. They sell under a dozen or more different names and even have glittery websites. I was quick to shut my car down when it failed (2010 V50 1.6D) so not a lot of shrapnel got beyond the throttle body it would seem. Gave it 3 oil/filter changes and a strip down of Intercooler etc due to oil/shrapnel ingress. I got away with (fingers crossed) using bits of my old/new turbo plus a new CHRA from a french guy on ebay and all seems well for now at 1000k. The chinese turbo whistled slightly from new which was a sure sign of something wrong. So.............. Cars love oil changes so do it with top qulaity oil like Mobil at least evey 10k as a max but better 6k if driven hardish. The fanstatsic figures given out for servicing last 20yrs only serve the dealerships in parts and repairs.
