🧾 Driver Reports
✅ FixedTurbo actuator seized — not full turbo failure
No boost and limp mode. Turbo itself was fine — the variable geometry actuator had seized. Specialist freed it off and replaced the actuator. £320 all in. Much cheaper than a new turbo. Make sure they diagnose specifically before quoting for a full turbo replacement.
Parts replaced: VGT actuator

✅ FixedBoost pipe split — not the turbo itself
Lost power suddenly above 3000rpm. Feared the worst. Mechanic found a split in the boost pipe between the turbo and intercooler. £28 for a silicone replacement pipe. Full boost restored. Always check the pipes before assuming the turbo has failed.
Parts replaced: Silicone boost pipe
💰 GBP 25 – 55

✅ FixedJuke turbo — oil starvation was the cause
Turbo failed at 72k. Mechanic found the oil feed pipe to the turbo was partially blocked with sludge — engine had been run on extended oil change intervals by previous owner. New turbo plus oil feed pipe flush. Running fine 15k miles later with regular oil changes.
Parts replaced: Turbocharger, oil feed pipe, oil and filter
