2007 Diesel Captiva Turbo removal.

Low to no power and excessive exhaust smoke.

[@valentinogallego4091]

One of the most informative videos for the captiva on youtube by thus far. This is the video I am going to use as a guide. Thanks Zig

[@ziggassedup]

I hope it helps you..Cheers

Currently removing my turbo, such a pain and with no experience but out of curiosity and the help of your video. Found it very effective and helpful. Thanks very much. 👍

[@ziggassedup]

You're welcome mate..Cheers

[@Badgertronix]

That's a fiddly oily mess and I'm glad it's all yours to sort out. Nice work

[@ziggassedup]

I just hate diesels...Cheers Badger.

[@BruceBoschek]

What a palaver just to get that out of there. I've heard of 3 turbos dying in the last few days. One of them went out after only 70k km. I still prefer displacement to pressure. Thanks for letting us take a look.

[@ziggassedup]

Boost adds to the ware and tear without a doubt...Cheers Bruce.

[@jeancito3257]

Thanks for the videos bud. Just what I needed to see and no BS

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers mate.

[@Bajaguy75]

Thanks heaps for sharing this video! I'm now subscribed! My daughter just bought a 2009 Cruze and I've found oil under the turbo, so reckon the issue you were fixing is the same issue she has, and now I'll be able to fix it thanks to you mate!

[@ziggassedup]

My pleasure mate...Cheers.

[@nathanalexander8756]

@@ziggassedup there is a hose that connects to the turbo and the pcv, does that carry oil in it?

[@ziggassedup]

@@nathanalexander8756 It's not supposed to...That will be oil from blow-by.

[@nathanalexander8756]

@@ziggassedup I see, well my vehicle the same. Exact oil leak. But the turbo is fine, what do I clean it with before reinstalling?

[@ziggassedup]

@@nathanalexander8756 The oil will most likely to be in the intercooler also...Degreaser is about all you can use.

[@jefflindsey9589]

Heck of a mechanic Zig!

[@ziggassedup]

Thanks Jeff.

[@TheWreckingYard]

Wow, I was thinking it looked like a handful of gravel went thru that turbo, but it just kept getting worse. Wild that the shaft broke.

[@ziggassedup]

The owner said it had been running poorly for about a year.!!

[@ChandanSharma-tz3sy]

Thanks for making this video on holden captiva. If you'll get the chance plz make a video on captiva throttle body as well.

[@ziggassedup]

Will try

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

EPIC OUCH ! ..LOL.. Thanks Zig ..!!

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers Shawn.

[@MissouriOldTimer]

I glad that's you doin that and not me. lol looks like a real pain,, I will say I don't think I ever saw a car that clean underneath before..

[@ziggassedup]

It's tough on my back for sure...Most of our vehicles are clean underneath..Cheers mate.

[@jameslumsdenkeys4846]

I've got a 2008 Captiva and turbo seized up 2 years ago. Had it replaced and had PDF cleaned. Now turbo seizing up again. Regularly serviced and wouldn't recommend a Captiva to anyone.

[@ziggassedup]

Excellent advice.

[@goodday8362]

Hi, how do you understand "turbo seizing up" ?

[@HDXFH]

PDF? Lol

[@pateldhavalonline]

Great detail information. My captiva has started leaking oil on turbo area. No error codes yet. No bad symptoms yet. No excessive smoke yet. No dripping oil on floor. How do I make sure my turbo is spinning? Thanks

[@ziggassedup]

Thanks mate...I'd start by accessing the front housing and just feel if the compressor whel is free and without and free play back and forth or side to side

[@buloulewaniaradinitoga1644]

Thanks Zig for this vid , i just took out the turbocharger for my 2008 captiva , should i check the EGR also ? Before i took the turbo out the code was that there was insufficient flow in the EGR, and i also saw the turbo leaking oil .

[@ziggassedup]

It would be a good idea to check the EGR while you're in there for sure...Cheers mate and good luck..

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Another tight job in tight quarters. That turbo looks plenty roached. I bet this is a high dollar fix.

[@ziggassedup]

Wasn't cheap....Cheers mate.

[@scottsinfl]

I wonder if it was close to a run on problem with it pumping a lot of oil in there.

[@ziggassedup]

Quite possible to lead to a "run away" situation... Cheers Scott.

[@Buckswoodshop]

I don't know much about turbos, but that looks pretty bad. Nice work Zig.

[@ziggassedup]

It doesn't get any worse than this one...Cheers Matt.

[@txsviking]

Run it til it breaks. lol Nice work

[@ziggassedup]

The damage didn't happen over night that's for sure...Cheers Terry.

[@wtbm123]

Cool

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers Terry.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Well done ZIG. I bet that diesel was blowing black smoke and tripping all kind of lights on the dash. They are lucky more trash didn't run through the engine. Take care

[@ziggassedup]

Thanks Lloyd...It would only rev to 1500rpm..Not even enough to allow it to change gear and the soot out the back was enormous.

[@terryyouth]

mine is the same 07 189ks. and in last few weeks got a split radiator, leaking fuel pipes, and then some oil around the turbo. (apparently some oil around the turbo? ) so this would be the issue? Do you have a repaired version of this?

[@ziggassedup]

Just junk.

[@shakerattleandrollgarage7223]

That looks like a big pain in the ass! That turbo's scrap wow ,nasty... Good luck

[@ziggassedup]

Not such a big deal to fix but a good chunk out of the wallet for the owner...

[@vaughanwilson9380]

Awesome video. I'm going to swap my turbo for a new one. Is there anything needs doing to the ECU when the new one goes on?

[@ziggassedup]

Thanks mate...No but you will have to erase any codes set from the failed turbo if there are any...Good luck and cheers.

[@pillanatjozsi]

ZIG! THX!!!

[@ziggassedup]

You're welcome.

[@michaelgregorio1927]

hi zig, my diesel captiva have excessive white smoke, no power, cannot rev rpm, hard start, sometimes throw P0100 code. oil all over intake pipes. do u thinknits same turbo problem like yours? thanks

[@ziggassedup]

I don't think so mate...That's a MAF code...Give it a clean and make sure the connections are good...See how ya go...Mite even need a new Maf...BTW Diesels have lots of blow-by and that's why.

[@carolinamanjr1385]

That was a lot to go through

[@ziggassedup]

A few hours but yes it was in cramped quarters.

[@brianquinn2240]

Great video, do you have one removing the head for a blown head gasket repair

[@ziggassedup]

No, sorry Brian...Cheers mate.

[@wyattoneable]

I've never messed with a turbo before. I know my diesel truck is a dog without one though. :)

[@ziggassedup]

Great power adders.

[@timrichardson9773]

Where the symptoms just low power and smoke? I have one these and we are upto the third turbo. First symptom was white smoke and Holden replaced. Second was low power and again low power. Thinking it may just be that electronic box??? Not the compete turbo? Any thoughts?

[@ziggassedup]

This one broke the impeller shaft.

[@timrichardson9773]

Thanks, I'll check ours out see what the verdict is.... Cheers!

[@BenjiLampier]

What Shop you working at Zig? Have an old Holden i would like you to take a look at...

[@ziggassedup]

I'm in western Sydney...When you say "Old Holden" how old.?..I loves me old Holdens.

[@BenjiLampier]

I have 2 one toners. Looking to have a cam put in one... watch your video a while back seen how good of a job you’ve done! In in the Liverpool area.

[@cafecostings8565]

Would this turbo replacement be the same for 2008? Thanks in advance.

[@ziggassedup]

I'm pretty sure a 2008 has a turbo in the front.

[@huss8575]

Hi there Zig, I don’t look at car vids ordinarily but got on here because I bought a 2009 Holden Captiva and kept it serviced, I did miss one service that I remember, it seemed like it was in good condition, in 2015 ? 2016 the car started blowing black smoke, I took it to get checked and they said the turbo had gone and the diesel particulate filter. I had never had a car that I’d paid more than $10,000 for and don’t recall any major issues with any until this one which I spent the most on. Should the turbo go do you think after a missed service ? It’s now not able to be driven and not sure if it was me or the car I’m just devastated it cost so much and don’t have the money to replace it I have to borrow my mothers car to drive my daughter to school... any answers ? Thanks 🙏

[@ziggassedup]

G'day Huss..I don't think missing one service would have been why the turbo failed mate...Craptiva have a bad rep for failures in both the Diesel and V6's unfortunately...I'll guess the K's on the clock are fairly low....They have trouble in the transmissions too....I feel for you bud...I think I paid $600 for a new Garrett bolt on turbo and it took a couple of hours to do the job...Sorry I don't have any good news...DPF's choking up are showing up more often and they can be wickedly expensive..Some cost more than the vehicle is worth...(2008 Sante-fe DPF from Hyundai was $9,000.!!) Good luck with it mate.

[@huss8575]

ZIGgassedUP oh do you know what I thought this myself, it will apparently cost $12,000 to have someone fix it all. Yes that’s right...I can’t believe it, I didn’t think a missed service would’ve caused a major issue, I’ve read articles saying if you drive them too fast and I’m not a lead foot but I do drive on the side of rushing but then I thought, no surely an expensive car like this is built to be driven... I’m not sure what to do, I think I may contact Holden because it may not be a lot of money to some but that kind of money is huge for me and I’m a single mum, I’ll not be able to afford anything in that price range again, not that I can see at this stage. Thanks Zig, know any good repairers in Victoria ???

[@ziggassedup]

@@huss8575 How many K's has the vehicle traveled.?

[@huss8575]

ZIGgassedUP hi there, I will have a look and get back to you, thanks 🙏

[@huss8575]

ZIGgassedUP hi Zig if your still interested my car has done around 127,000 ks I can’t check exactly because the battery looks like it’s flat but that’s when it was next due to be serviced and that was recorded at the last service a month or so before the turbo went, thanks again zig 🤝

[@alberto4231]

Grazie bellissimo video ho una captiva del 2007 e il mio turbo fischia quando ci dai tanto gas poi é sporco d'olio per ora funziona cosa mi consigli di fare ? Sostituire il turbo revisionarlo oppure aspettare che si rompe ? Perché dovrei fare con l'auto 2.400 km tra andata e ritorno e vorrei sapere se anticipare la sostituzione o no? grazie se mi dai un consiglio ciao

[@ziggassedup]

Best is to change it now.

[@chartonsamuels9116]

can the turbo be the cause for engine cranking but not starting it almost sounds if it's not building up enough compression . 2010 captiva 2.0L vcdi need help

[@ziggassedup]

No...Compression and fuel pressure are what makes it start...Any check lights on the dash.?

[@aminmaizi6118]

Check your glow plug or ckp sensor . If not too late😆

[@HDXFH]

Bad piston return springs

Hi my Captiva Diesel is bellowing out with smoke from the tailpipe and I've noticed oil around the turbo area ,it randomly started happening does this sound like a turbo issue

Im getting a underboost provlem code on my Holden Captiva. Code p0299. Can't figure out what it is. But car looses power once I step on pedal a little harder

Most probably the turbo has packed it in.

[@rhill7273]

what did the job end up costing?

Not sure exactly...We bought a new turbo from Honeywell Garrett...I think it was about $600.

Nope Turbo failure...Bearings/bushes worn out.

Hey mate my Captivas turbo shit it’s self as well at 200xxx I want to try and take the turbo off and run it n/a could I do this?

[@ziggassedup]

No mate...Even if you could it would have no power and to remap and alter the PCM would be not worth the effort.

[@harreymoore5158]

ZIGgassedUP sorry mate I should have mentioned that I’ll only be using it for a paddock basher not for road use could it still be alright for just around me farm??

[@ziggassedup]

@@harreymoore5158 It would run real bad mate...The PCM is programed to read boost when it senses your foot on the loud pedal so it will dump heaps of fuel into the engine but it won't burn well and black smoke will come out of the back like James Bond...Pretty much like a buggered turbo with no boost and you have that already,,,right.!

[@harreymoore5158]

ZIGgassedUP yeah mate she turns over and then shuts off straight away can I fix this without buying a new turbo coz she’ll only be a farm car mate so I just need some options that I can do me self without spending to much coin on her...?
