Located in Rockingham , WA and currently having a problem with a 2007 D3 2.7L blowing smoke. It has been to a diesel mechanic , Tickles Discovery Automotive in Wongara to have it analysed and they say it is an intermittent turbo problem. An electronic part that can't be replaced requiring a complete turbo replacement. I have done a search on the forum and found some topics back in 2010 which indicate parts were not available back then so I assume they are still not available ? Does anyone have an update on these turbo's ? Does anyone know what model turbo is used on the 2.7L as the numbers are difficult to see on the actual turbo ?

A common fault is the turbo vane linkage partially or completely siezing. It can be lubricated and moved by hand to free it. This may not be your turbo's fault but worthwhile checking that the linkage moves freely. There are several threads on here relating to this fault.

Thanks M8. I just need to figure out how to get to the turbo ?? not much room around the V6 ??

The actuator arm can be seen through the left front wheel arch. Once you know where it is, you can get your hand down from above to give the joint a wriggle. IIRC if someone switches the ignition on then off you should see the arm move during the cleaning cycle.

SupporterFollowing from Jexhed earlier query, does anybody know what model/part number is for the Turbo for a 2.7, and whether there are any aftermarket of such manufacturers that fit?
Any Australian suppliers?
EG: Do Garrett make one, or do the turbo's from 2.7 Falcons fit?
Figure the stealers will want rather a lot to sell me one with LR on it.

Part number is LR021042.
This search of britcar shows 4 options for LR, OEM, Borgwarner and PR2 Garret at 4 different price levels:

SupporterWent on a UK LR parts site to check Turbo prices.
They had 2 listed, Garrett PR2 at approx $1700 and LRGarrett PR2 at $4350.
Figure that likely the GarrettPR2 can be had in Australia at same or less than UK price, will just have to keep looking.
Put a product called "Revive" through the intake. Seems to be ok now, maybe it helped loosen up the actuator arm ?? Found some oil residue at the intake connections to the turbo. Is it recommended to fit an oil catch can to these engines ?
