I have always wondered about the seemingly high number of turbo replacements on these engines. Are the turbos really failing? Are owners mistaking cold start exhaust vapor as smoke from a blown turbo? Is the warranty repair allowance too high, making turbo replacement a lucrative means for a Dealer to appease a customer/pay for other work with a too low allowance?
I have 295,000 miles on my original turbo, and OnDemand5 identifies the warranty time for turbo replacement on the 2.3 litre 9-5 engine as only 1.8 hours so this job is not lucrative for the Dealers.
Still baffling.
