Turbo, gearbox and wear on the second-generation Master

Engine / equipment

Renault Master II (1.9 to 3.0 diesel)

Period mentioned

1998–2010

Symptoms

Low power and an engine warning light (turbo at high mileage); gears that are hard to select, jump out or no longer engage; wear of brakes, joints, shock absorbers, springs and steering box; sensor, central-locking and window faults.

Possible cause described

Hard van use: the turbo fails at high mileage and the five-speed manual eventually needs an overhaul or replacement; suspension and brake parts wear quickly and brake lines rust.

Check for the garage

Check power and codes, test every gear when warm and check the front axle, brakes and lines.
