2 known faults with sources

Turbo oil starvation from injector carbonTurbo / injection

Engine / equipment: 1.6 HDi DV6 (Peugeot 207/308/3008/Partner, Citroën C3/C4/Berlingo; same engine as the Ford 1.6 TDCi)
Period mentioned: Approx. 2004–2015
Symptoms: Loud turbo whistle, power loss, blue or black smoke, oil that gets dirty very quickly. Before the failure, often a puffing or ticking from the cylinder head and an exhaust smell from an injector.
Possible cause described: The injector clamp bolts work loose, the gas leak forms carbon that gets into the oil and clogs the mesh filter in the banjo bolt feeding the turbo. The turbo is starved of oil. Replacing only the turbo does not fix it.
Check for the garage: Check injector bolt torque and carbon at their base, the turbo banjo bolt and the sump strainer.
Cost cited in the source: Turbo + full oil system cleaning: approx. €900–2,000 (estimate)A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Applies if: Twin of the Citroën Jumpy (same van and engines); the German guide covers the Jumpy.

Rust, suspension, turbo and EGR on the Jumpy, Expert and Scudo (2000–2016)Known weak points

Engine / equipment: First and second-generation Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Fiat Scudo (petrol and diesel)
Period mentioned: 1995–2016
Symptoms: First generation: rust on the body, underside and sills, worn shock absorbers, springs and brakes, turbo and the 2.0 HDi common-rail system, oil leaks. Second generation: suspension and steering, brakes, clogged EGR on the HDi (smoke, hesitation, low power), dual-mass flywheel and turbo at high mileage.
Possible cause described: Hard-used vans: the German guide attributes most defects to age, mileage and load. It cites no recalls.
Check for the garage: Check rust on the underside and sills, suspension and brakes; on diesels, test turbo, EGR and dual-mass flywheel.
