  • Turbo Issues

    Hi All,
    My search turned up nothing so if this has been covered before I apologise and would appreciate any direction or advice that can be offered. I wasn't sure whether this should be under engine or electrical but I'll let the moderators decide.

    My 2008 has just fallen out of warranty and has only done 55,000km. Whilst off road two weeks ago I had the engine warning light come on. After having it checked out it's been diagnosed as a faulty sensor on the turbo unit. After consulting with Toyota I've been told that the sensor is not a separate unit and in order to rectify the problem the turbo requires replacing.

    Has anyone encountered this issue previously or heard of it before?

    on the d4d there is an electrical dovalakky that varies the angle of the veins on the turbo, these do fail from time to time, is that whats happening on yours. cheers samo

      Toyota may not sell the stepper motor as a separate part but you might be able to source one through a turbo repair/sales shop. Stepper motors are generally not expensive (a few hundred), the bulk of the cost will be the turbo.

        This component should not fail so prematurely. I would be making a claim against Toyota under the Statutory Warranty provisions contained in consumer protection law.

          Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not actually sure if any of the mechanical components of the turbo have failed or are even faulty. From what I've been told by my mechanic, who is actually a mate before a mechanic (so I trust him) is that it is the actual electronic sensor on the unit that is at fault.

          Toyota have the car at present and are running their own tests, I've been told depending on the finding they may offer a replacement at their cost or a 50/50 split or I get the whole bill.

          Needless to say I've got my fingers crossed!

            G'day guys,

            I've got a bit of an update and it's all good. It turns out my car had taken a swim in it's previous life and sucked muddy water into the turbo. When Toyota pulled it apart it had some muddy debris in there. They cleaned it out and have just replaced the sensor on the turbo unit, they only charged me $66 for an air filter the rest they did on warranty. I can't speak highly enough of the service from Scarborough Toyota, they were great.

            Now for an exhaust and chip upgrade!

            Cheers.
