General Fiat Doblo 263 1.3 - Turbo oil pressure on startup

[JamesDM]

Hi all,

I have a 1.3 Multijet Fiat Doblo 263. When starting the engine, it seems there isn't enough oil pressure getting to the turbo straight away, which is causing the turbo to make a screeching noise but it goes away after a few seconds of the van starting.

I've got the van booked in for a timing chain, oil pump and water pump change this Friday, but I'm unsure if I need to get anything else changed or if anyone has any idea what's causing this

The turbo itself has very little play when I last checked

Are you sure its not the alternator drive belt or its pullys?

Hi James

What did the garage find?

I'm thinking it's one of these causing the issues after a bit more testing!

Hi James

What did the garage find?

Garage actually just replaced the timing chain (full kit), oil pump and water pump and a few other things.

I still have a oil pressure issue which is causing me a headache going in tomorrow for them to fit a new pressure switch but I've read online it could be crankshaft bearings need replacing not sure how much that costs or if it's a big job?
