Used Peugeot parts: the 1.6 HDi turbocharger and more
The turbocharger: the engine decides everything
A Peugeot 308, 407 or Partner with the 1.6 HDi diesel has a turbocharger that depends on the engine’s output and the year. The 1.6 HDi engine exists in several versions, and their turbochargers differ. So do not rely on “it will fit, it is from a Peugeot”: you need the exact engine variant.
The 1.6 HDi diesels are shared with Citroen, so sellers sometimes offer turbochargers “from a Citroen”. That can be a fine option, but check compatibility by the part number.
How to judge a used turbocharger
Ask about the donor’s mileage, the state of the shaft (is there any play?), whether there is oil in the pipes and whether the blades are damaged. An honest seller sends photos from all sides. Also find out whether the turbo comes with the actuator (the control valve) and whether it was tested.
When comparing offers, tell a used turbocharger from a reconditioned one: on a reconditioned one the cartridge was replaced. The price difference is usually explained by exactly that.
Before replacing it, find out why the turbocharger failed. If the cause is dirty oil or a faulty oil feed, a new turbocharger will repeat the story. That is why mechanics often advise changing the oil and filter and checking the pipes along with it. Ask too whether gaskets and fixings are in the offer. If you need other engine parts besides the turbocharger, you can add them to the same request: a seller often gives better terms on several items at once.
