Turbo Charger Replacement – Brentwood

The turbocharger works harder than almost any other component on a modern engine. Spinning at up to 150,000 rpm and operating under extreme heat, it forces compressed air into the engine to improve power and efficiency, and when it starts to fail, the effects on performance can be significant.

Turbocharger problems are something we deal with regularly at Mercury Car Centre, across a wide range of petrol and diesel vehicles.

Signs your turbo may need attention:

• A noticeable loss of power or sluggish acceleration
• Excessive smoke from the exhaust, particularly blue or grey
• A high-pitched whining noise under load
• Increased oil consumption without an obvious explanation
• An illuminated engine management light
• These symptoms can overlap with other faults, so accurate diagnosis before committing to any work is essential.

Our approach

Before a turbocharger is replaced, we carry out a thorough diagnostic assessment to confirm it’s the source of the problem and to identify any contributing factors such as oil starvation, a blocked breather, or a faulty wastegate, for example. Replacing a turbo without understanding why the original failed is a false economy, and it’s not how we work.

Where replacement is the right course of action, we use quality parts to the correct specification for your vehicle. We also carry out the supporting checks and fluid changes needed to give the new unit the best possible start which is an often-overlooked step that makes a real difference to longevity.

All turbocharger replacement work is covered by our 24-month warranty on parts and labour.

If your car has been lacking power or showing any of the symptoms above, contact Mercury Car Centre in Brentwood to arrange a diagnostic check.
