Locating Turbo Part Number Or Chassis Plate

[garf426]

Hi All,

 

the turbo on my mums 06 galaxy 1.9 TDI has given up the ghost and im planning to fit a new one saturday however until this point i cant get to the vehicle and im having difficulty sourcing a new one i have reg & chassis number however it seems this isnt enough as there are several fitments. i have askd some one for the engine code off of the chassis plate which i believe should be situated in one of the front doors on a black sticker however apparently this isnt there either, does anyone have any tips on how i where i could find this information or how i can identify the correct turbo without this information

 

any help muchly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

I don't know 100% but i think the chassis plate is located on the floor near the side of the drivers seat - i believe there is a small flap where the carpet lifts up to reveal the plate. However, like i said i am not 100% but you can check.

For what it is worth,

the Ford part numbers for 2004 on turbochargers are:

 

90PS (Engine code AHU) XM21-9G438-AA

 

115PS (Engine code AUY) 6M21-9G438-AA

 

130PS (Engine code ASZ) and 150PS (Engine code ASZ1) 4M21-9G438-BA

 

Ford will charge you an extortionate amount of money - there are several posts on this site about cheaper options though, as well as cleaning up if the problem is just stuck vanes.

thanks guys as i say tho i cant get there till sat to check, i will try and get her to check the chassis plate tho and see if its in this position near the seat.

 

unfortunately dont think its just a clean out job, horrendous whistling and big lack of power!

Before you start to replace the turbo it might be worth checking all the hoses to and from the turbo/intercooler. Has it failed? Is there horrendous white smoke pouring out of the exhaust? The 'whistling' is usually noisy bearings which can be replaced by a good recon-company. Lack of power could be down to the ECU being in Limp mode caused by numerous things. I would start by checking all the hoses as suggested, then checking all the vacuum pipes to and from the boost control solenoid and the VNT mechanism.

Is the chassis plate under the carpet near the driver's side? Having a hell of a time trying to find one!

 

I understand it has the key code number on it, yes? :)
