The XU10J4RS will *fit a Berlingo - they were used in Peugeot 306 GTi 6 and Xsara VTS, probably others. 2.0l 165 BHP 16v would make a great sleeper.

The wiring involved would be mental unless you could find something that would run iff the same ecu and loom! Just rip it apart and do the work it needs yourself or buy a second hand lump the same as it has already!

Rather boringly, I've decided to just fit a new turbo. It's by far the easiest and cheapest option, even after you've taken into account the need to drop the sump and clean it until you could use it as a soup tureen and change the oil twelve times. Then I'm going to sell it. Bloody ridiculous engine.

I friend of mine always lets the turbo cool down when he stops the car (leaving the car iddleling along for a minit or 4). I know you can't do this all the time, but it really saves the bearings of the turbo.. Maybe this will solve a little of your problem. Maybe fitting a much bigger oilfilter will help too...

Before fitting a new turbo you can iddle the engine for a while without the turbo mounted and flush the oilpipe which goes to the turbo.. (keep an eye on the oil level)

There's special oil to flush your engine (but this can bring more problems when all the gunk comes free at once)....



After fitting the new turbo, starting and iddling the engine for the first time, loosen the return pipe and hold the wheel of the turbo (with your fingers) till you see the oil comming out of the return pipe, then let the turbo wheel free so you are assure your bearing are turning in oil...


Take a good look at your oil return pipe anyway, can the oil run back into the engine free.
The return pipe needs to be at least 12mm in diameter (inside) and may not be folded or something like that... The oil needs really to return free into the engine back...


Just some thoughts having lunch brake...

Good luck with your new turbo...

I know it sucks and its boring but I think you're probably doing the right thing. I've recently started using modern cars and they're a total pain in the arse.

Just looked on the euro car parts site to see if Ford focus turbo was any cheaper , but not (as uses cit/pug engine in some.
Looking at £443 for OE new or £323 remanufactured unit and get rid ?

Yeah, PSA's HDI engines are used in Citroen, Peugeot, Ford, Mazda, Volvo and BMW(MINI) cars.
