A common issue in the turbo system of a Ford Transit is often due to an oil pump malfunction. When the turbos don't receive sufficient oil, it leads to increased wear on the bearings, causing them to deteriorate more quickly. In your engine, the turbo functions as a compressor that boosts air pressure to enhance compression, resulting in higher horsepower and torque. This process is driven by a fan powered by exhaust gases from the engine. The fan has bearings that require proper lubrication to operate efficiently. If these bearings run low on oil, the probable result is their failure, ultimately damaging the turbo.
My van is experiencing a loss of power, but it idles perfectly. However, it feels slow and unresponsive when driving.
If you're having issues with the turbo boost on your Ford Transit, make sure to inspect all the hoses first before jumping to the conclusion that the turbo system needs to be replaced. A possible blockage or malfunction in the airflow might be the root cause of the problem and the loss of turbo power.
