Turbo Trouble No More: VW Crafter Gets Its Boost Back!

1st May – a vehicle from Evington, Leicester

This VW Crafter made the trip from Evington to our garage in search of new life. The owner had noticed a clear drop in power, sluggish acceleration, and a warning light that refused to go away. It was a van that had worked hard, but lately, it had been struggling to keep up.

After a quick inspection, it was clear what the culprit was: a tired turbo that was no longer doing its job. That lack of boost was holding the whole engine back.

We got to work fitting a brand new turbo, along with a replacement feed pipe to keep things flowing the way they should. Since it’s never a good idea to fit a fresh turbo with old oil, we also changed the oil and filter, giving the engine a cleaner, healthier environment to run in.

The result? Smoother acceleration, better throttle response, and a van that’s finally breathing properly again. We reckon this Crafter left with a proper spring in its step — and the owner noticed the difference straight away on the drive home.
