THE DISCOVERY 200 TDI TURBO

The fuel economy on your Discovery 200 TDI has deteriorated, along with its performance. You can no longer hear the turbo charger cutting in and suspect that may be the cause of the problems. Will need to take the vehicle to a specialist to have the turbo checked over?

The turbo on a 200TDI engine isn’t particularly complicated but I wouldn’t suggest a DIY rebuild. Any garge it doesn’t need to be Land Rover specialist will be able to tell you if the turbo is at fault. If it’s found to be so, it’s a simple case of buying a reconditioned turbo from one of our advertise.
Before you take it to the garage it’s worth checking all the intercooler hoses and the intercooler itself to make sure these are in good condition. A weak pipe or one with a very small hole could have the same effect.
