Turbo failure??

[Alesimo]

I think my turbo went. There was a weird sound when I accelerated that I thought was the AC. Later that night, I lost all power and had the CEL light come on. I also got warnings to service the electronic throttle and traction control. Weirdly enough, my Tazer did not pick up a DTC code. I cleared the CEL the following day, and the Jeep drove fine; however, I still had that AC surging sound. Upon rolling my window down, it was apparent it was not the AC, but a vacuum sound coming from the intake or turbo. I drove it to work and boom, lost power and had the same "service electronic throttle control and stability control lights come on. I must add that the Tazer's boost gauge is not reading anything. Well today I removed the right turbo inlet pipe and it's full of oil. Additionally, the high-pressure EGR tube looks like a mess. Not sure what happened, the jeep was running fine until this. Previously I did have a coolant leak at the turbo, however, that was fixed when my warranty was still current. Just posting to let y'all know I guess. Not too sure what I'm going to do, as removing the turbo is a serious job.

Looks like there’s been some oil coming out for a bit there. Is all caked on next to the tube.
Hows your oil level? Did they damage a return line when they did the coolant leak? Is air filter completely gummed up?
PCV valve or bypass stuck closed?

Oil level is fine. I've never had oil pool anywhere, I assume the return line is intact. Air filter looks fine too. Not sure about the pcv valve or bypass...

So not much of an update, but I found all of this behind the driver tire in the wheel well. It doesn't feel like oil, more like sooty coolant? I haven't a clue.

Powertrain warranty should still be intact, I wouldn't be pulling apart myself.

Why would your warranty not be current? 5 years 60k miles. Would be best as already stated to not take it apart. Let the dealer

Sound advice. I'm going to throw it back together and take it in tomorrow.

Absolutely. Might be a diagnostic fee but power train warranty covers turbo.

I thought the diesel powertrain warranty was 100K.

You are correct. I was thinking of my old one maybe not sure.

Powertrain Limited Warranty
