Dead turbo?
so turned on the car, v50 D5, and engine service urgent came up and car has drastically reduced power. Garage guy managed to have a quick check and said the that the turbo actuator wont engage.
so, what the odds its a dead turbo? any estimates the price or ideas what the issue |

Hi Mark
Don't know if this will help. See the post by keith58 in the C70 97-05 section. C70: Turbo not working. Fred |

Turbo won't engage if it's in limp mode. There should be an error stored for what's caused the limp mode. I doubt it's the turbo.

It won't be the turbo, be something like a duff sensor - which then disables the turbo.
Turbo's fail in a more dramatic and obvious way. The car needs plugging into a Volvo specific diagnostic code reader i.e. VIDA or Dealer-level equipment.

So, garage says, Actuator got wet is now dead. Must replace whole turbo, non volvo one installed will be circa £1200, real volvo one fitted will be circa £1800
Does this sound right to people, does the whole turbo really need replaced? |

I have no experience with the D5 but actuators are usually serviceable. I wouldn't do the replacement without getting a second opinion. Chances are, you can get the actuator replaced for less than 200. Did you get the error codes read?

Dont know if yours is the same as v70d5 ie turbo and electronic actuator but they do fail. I too had garages say replace turbo etc. I replaced the actuator myself and it was plug and play. I rang a few companies up and told them details of my car and got a replacement actuator. It was just over 200 quid. I would do some research first and see what you can find out.
