Turbo rattle?

[Dudley Dawson]

Great news, just picked up my Jeep and the clicking noise is gone. They installed a new turbo. Thanks to help from this forum @Meela @AtlanticOverland for their great insight and help. The video I recorded was the push they needed to replace it. Here is the work order. The Jeep feels smoother and more alive now.

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Great to see all of the positive experiences with the turbo replacement.

I wanna be in the no-rattle turbo club too!

I really dread the dealer, but making appointment now. I expect push back (last time they said rattle could be related to steering TSB - ). Wish me luck...

WOOOHOOOOO!!!! It’s almost like new the way she handles now isn’t it! Has a bit more spunk that you didn’t realize she was lacking? That’s how it was for me anyway

Congrats!

Does anyone think the linkage at the top of the turbo can be tightened up and that would fix it? Still haven’t taken mine in yet and I’m heading to Moab next week.

I am by no means a mechanic but I would venture not since they are replacing the entire turbo each and every time.

Very concerning that Turbos are going out. Should this be a TSB from NTSA?

I am up for a replacement once all parts are in. I made it a point to mention to the JeepCares rep working with me that some form of notice needs to be brought up regarding this issue. May have been a bad batch of actuators?

For those who have this issue, what year is your JL turbo? Mine is 2018.

mine is a 2018 built 8/2018. I don’t know if it’s a safety issue. But, it is a issue in reliability and having it break out of warranty would suck.

Also a 2018...I think I recall many of us were 2018 but don’t quote me on it.

Mine is also a 2018. So I guess the question is, is this a 2018 problem or have others just not experienced it yet because they aren’t as used yet. I’m thinking the former...

Mines a 2020. I’m going to fix the GoPro under the hood today to see if I can capture it.

If you can post the video, please do. It will be good to have as much material in this thread for JeepCares or Mopar to have. With yours being a 2020, it looks as though it wasn’t just a bad batch, but a faulty part to begin with and service department techs need to know what that sound actually means instead of “oh, that’s just normal turbo noise”.

What mileage were you at when you first started hearing this issue?

I have 9300 currently and noticed it probably around 7000 or so. Took it to my dealer for it and my transmission. They wrote off the turbo as normal and re-flashed my transmission but I’m still having clunking there when the trans temp is below 130°.
