Used Volvo Turbo for Construction Equipment
1 produits disponibles
A turbo that whistles or leaks oil compromises the entire diesel engine's power. On a Volvo loader, this loss quickly affects loading performance. Codimatra dismantles selected Volvo machines and offers original Volvo turbos, sold as-is after workshop inspection. Depending on availability, our Volvo turbos mainly come from wheel loaders, such as the Volvo L150: see the datasheets above or browse our turbo range for all brands.
Volvo Diesel Turbo: The Role of the Turbocharger
The turbo harnesses energy from the engine's exhaust gases to compress the fresh air sent into the cylinders. More air means more fuel burned and thus greater power for the same displacement. Compressed air heats up; it then passes through the intercooler before entering the engine. A worn turbo reduces boost pressure: the engine smokes, consumes more fuel, and loses torque under load. A leak on the engine’s exhaust side can also contaminate the downstream exhaust system.
Volvo Turbo Hose, Fittings, and Reference: How to Choose Correctly
- Machine: model and serial number of the equipment.
- Engine: type and number found on the engine's nameplate.
- Turbo Reference: stamped on the turbo housing, to be checked against manufacturer specifications.
- Fittings: intake hoses, exhaust flanges on engine side, oil supply and return lines.
- Complete Engine: also see our used Volvo engines, sold as-is.
Proper Installation of a Used Turbo
A turbo can fail quickly if it lacks oil at startup. Before installation, as recommended by manufacturers, replace the hose and oil supply tube if their condition is questionable, drain the engine oil, and change the filter. Prime the turbo with oil, then let the engine idle for a few minutes. Follow manufacturer specifications for tightening torques and oil type. Have your mechanic perform the installation: Codimatra sells the part without engine installation service.

Common signs include a noticeable loss of power, black or blue smoke from the exhaust, unusual whistling noises, oil leaks on the turbine or compressor side, and play in the turbo shaft. Oil traces in the engine exhaust also warrant caution. Have a mechanic diagnose the issue before ordering parts: a damaged turbo often signals lubrication problems.
Regarding construction machinery, most diesel engines on Volvo loaders, dump trucks, and excavators are turbocharged. The exact turbo reference depends on the engine fitted to your machine: note it on the engine plate before contacting us.
There is no single answer: engine reliability mainly depends on maintenance, oil quality, and air filtration. For Volvo machines, diesel engines of the D series are widespread, making it easier to find used engine parts, starting with turbos for Volvo.
The cost depends on two elements: the turbo itself, with prices shown on the datasheet or estimate, and your mechanic’s labor, which varies with engine accessibility. Plan for oil, filters, and replacement hoses as needed.
Volvo Penta equips marine and industrial engines, including some generators and stationary machines. Turbos for Volvo Penta and Volvo machines may look similar, but compatibility must always be checked against the turbo and engine references. Provide both references to us; our technicians verify before shipping.
