Citroen C5 1.6 HDI Turbo
I have a 1.6 HDI C5 the turbo packed up. I got a brand new turbo delivered today. There is slight play in the propellor/turbine is this normal? Is this ok to fit?
Re: Citroën C5 1.6 HDI Turbo
There will be a very small amount of play,but not much. Make sure you determine why the old one failed, or the new one could fail in less than 1 mile

You ideally need to use Total Ineo ECS, its a oil made by Total for the PSA 16v HDi engines with FAP filters.floggmolly wrote:Thanks for the reply it was very useful. The last one failed due to bad oil. What oil should i use? I have been using 5W-30 low sap VW Spec
You should also change it every year or 10-12K (I do mine every 7-8K), not the stated 20K, as this is where the problems begin ...

Divide by 0.6 for Kilometres
Re: Citroën C5 1.6 HDI Turbo
When we do a turbo on any 1.6 hdi, we always remove the metal gauze filter that is at the engine block end of the feed pipe. It is very fine and gets blocked. My theory is that some dirty oil is better than no oil.
Its a real pita to get the pipe off though, but better than wrecking your new Turbo. Most turbo manufacturers demand a new feed pipe to honour the warrant anyway.
