Range Rover Evoque - Turbo Actuator Replacement

This Week we have been remarkably busy with many repairs, services and enhancements.

This Range Rover Evoque was brought in by its owner due to engine management light being on. 

Thankfully, we were able to quickly diagnose the problem with the Turbo.

However, here at Safari Engineering we ensure that our customers get the best deal alongside top service. Therefor upon inspection we were able to advise that there was no need to replace the whole Turbo, but instead just replace the Turbo actuator for a new one. This allowed us to repair the vehicle to a high standard, for a fraction of the cost.

What is a Turbo Actuator?

A turbo actuator is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel — helping to control the speed of the turbine and prevent it from over-speeding, and in turn, regulating the speed of the compressor and so the boost pressure. This helps to protect the turbocharger from unnecessary wear, by capping the maximum boost pressure of the turbo at a safe level.
A turbocharger uses a vehicle’s exhaust to power a turbine, which forces more air into the vehicle’s engine, to help it go faster.

Some signs of your Turbo Actuator failing are:

- Engine Management Light on

- A complete loss of power (causing the vehicle to go into limp mode)

- Fault Codes

Here at Safari Engineering we pride ourselves on using top quality branded products on your vehicles, to ensure you have the best service.

Most vehicle parts are available within our Part Department. However, when a part is not readily available, we will order this as soon as we can (usually for next day delivery).
