Turbocharger diagnosis, repair, and replacement. Recon or new OE units fitted with full oil feed system inspection. We identify and fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
Modern turbocharged engines rely on precise oil supply and clean exhaust gas to keep the turbo spinning at up to 150,000 RPM. When oil supply is restricted, contaminated, or the turbo ingests debris, failure is inevitable. Fitting a replacement without addressing the underlying cause guarantees a repeat failure.
Not every turbo issue means a full replacement. Actuator faults, wastegate problems, and minor shaft play can sometimes be addressed without removing the unit. However, when bearing failure, compressor wheel damage, or significant shaft play is present, replacement is the only viable option.
We offer both recon and new OE units depending on budget and availability:
Fitting a turbo without checking why the old one failed is negligent. We inspect:

About turbo repair in Skelmersdale.
Sometimes. Actuator faults and minor wastegate issues can be repaired without replacing the whole unit. However, if the bearings have failed or the wheels are damaged, the turbo needs replacing. We'll assess and advise honestly — we don't replace parts that don't need replacing.
Oil starvation is the primary cause — usually from blocked oil feed pipes, poor oil quality, or extended service intervals. Foreign object ingestion (from failed catalytic converters or loose intake components) and excessive exhaust back pressure (blocked DPF) are also common culprits.
Recon units are professionally rebuilt with new bearings and seals, properly balanced, and carry a warranty. They're perfectly suitable for most applications. New OE is preferred if budget allows or if the vehicle is high-mileage and you want maximum longevity. We'll discuss options and let you decide.
Always. Fitting a turbo without verifying the oil feed and return is functioning correctly is a guaranteed repeat failure. We inspect and replace the oil feed pipe as standard practice, and check the return line for blockage or restriction.
