As a seasoned master tech mechanic with over 15 years of hands-on experience in vehicle diagnostics and repairs, I've encountered a variety of issues with modern vehicles. One relatively common issue is the turbo fault in the Mitsubishi L200 models from 2015 onwards. Let's delve deeper into what typically causes this fault, its symptoms, and the repair process.
The turbocharger is a crucial component in your Mitsubishi L200, enhancing engine efficiency and performance. However, when things go wrong, it's usually noticeable. Common causes of a turbo fault can include worn seals, damaged bearings, or blockages in the system. Environmental factors, such as poor quality fuel or lack of regular maintenance, can exacerbate these issues.
Symptoms that indicate a turbo fault in your Mitsubishi L200 may include a significant drop in engine power, increased exhaust emissions, and unusual noises from the turbo area. You might also notice that the engine struggles to maintain high speeds or becomes excessively smoke-filled, particularly under heavy load.
Addressing a turbo fault involves a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact cause. The repair process can vary significantly, ranging from replacing internal parts like seals or bearings to installing a completely new turbocharger. It’s crucial to have these repairs carried out by a professional who can accurately assess and fix the problem.
For many owners, the cost of repairing a turbo fault can be steep, especially considering the potential for other related issues to arise down the line. The process can also be time-consuming, adding to the inconvenience.
If you're facing a turbo fault repair, you might wonder whether it’s worth the hassle or if it’s a better idea to sell your van and upgrade to a newer model.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
