200tdi Turbo diagnosis

thanks Rick.


I was able to get the intercooler out without removing anything but the top bracket;

I could get my arm down through the cutout to undo the bottomscrew ring clamp.

Very dirty, alot of blocked holes and black inside

Couple of goes with degreaser, then a litre of diesel
Attachment 56577
while it was soaking gave it a go with compressed air, straightened out the fins a bit, and gave it a bath
Attachment 56578

Emptied out the diesel and used laundry soap to flush the inside a few times,
ran the hose through it for a few minutes to get out any residue soap, it's now drying in the sun.

Now to investigate the crank case 'cyclonic breather', i think that is actually what is letting all the oil through to the air intake. Do they wear out (the cyclonic breather)?

I keep one captive for such occasions.

Nope , they have a gauze that gets blocked. Flush it through both ways with some spirits or something. They aren't that great at separating by design, the allisport replacement claims to be better.

I was out on the price of that TD04 cartridge, it was only $315 + $40 freight but they didn't do any T250 Garrett ones at the time.

I still can't fid the exact model TD04 MTQ use, but it bolts straight up to the 200Tdi manifold.
You'd need to fabricate a new dump though or buy one from them.
They usually charge around $250 for their cast dumps, but you know it'll bolt straight up.

thanks Rick, I'll follow that up, if I can get something better for the same or less money, why wouldn't I?

edit; I've sent an email to their Perth branch to see what they can come up with.

BTW that cartridge I've been talking of came from Asia, it wasn't locally sourced.

I don't know enough about the one I have to know what will fit or not.

do these numbers ring a bell Rick?

Methinks that was the photo I was looking for :D

One of the blokes from MTQ let slip that they just pulled them out of the box and installed them, no changing compressor or turbine wheels. ;)

has the same look as the one I have now, mostly. I wonder if that is where they got the 200tdi turbo setup -a range rover!
