Citroen c5 1.6hdi turbo chra change
Also changed new fuel lines on engine compartment and fuel filter heater because old one melted from the connection and it let air in the fuel lines trough the connection, one injector cleaning and seal change, oil cooler and filter housing cleaning and seals, valve cover seal, new thermostat, new serpentine belt, resonator seal, and im getting a new radiator, also took apart the radiator fan motor (because it seized, there was 3 out of 4 brushes stuck on their housings and last one was cracked and the motor case was ful of carbon depris) car heated so much it melted a hole in the thermostat and water came out, thats why it probably blew the turbo, i think the sensors for water temp was busted because i newer saw any bars on the temp gauge on my time for the car 100k km, (390k km), im clad there was no bigger issues with the motor

Re: Citroen c5 1.6hdi turbo chra change
Tbh, the overheating (from the seized fan motor + busted temp sensor) definitely explains the turbo CHRA failure and melted thermostat—makes total sense. All the fixes you’ve done (fuel lines, filter heater, injector clean, seals, thermostat, etc.) were spot on to fix the root issues and prevent more damage.
Good call on the new radiator too, and cleaning up that fan motor (carbon debris + stuck brushes is no joke). Super lucky the engine didn’t take more damage with 390k km—you dodged a bullet there!
Looks like you’ve covered all the critical stuff; once the new radiator’s in, it should run way smoother.
