Turbocharger broken after 60,000 km! Ford Ranger turbocharger shaft broken 🤯
The Ford Ranger has 60,000 km on the clock, and this is now the third breakdown. This time, the turbocharger failed completely, right in the middle of a trip to my clients with the camper shell. In this video, I'll disassemble the turbocharger, show you the damage from the inside, and explain why the shaft simply snapped.
Regular oil changes, letting the turbo run after deceleration—everything done correctly—and yet, after only 60,000 kilometers, the shaft has broken. No metal shavings, no oil starvation. On top of that, the fuel pump, EGR valve, injectors, and burnt valves have already suffered damage. I'll show you everything in detail and explain what you should look out for with your pickup truck.
