Turbo Repairin Batumi
Turbo repair in Batumi at PRO SERVICE (Airport Highway 212): we check boost pressure, shaft play, the intercooler and hoses to find the cause of the failure. Then we remove the turbo and rebuild it or replace it with a new or remanufactured unit. Labor from … GEL, takes 1-3 working days. Without fixing the cause, a new turbo can fail just as fast.
Signs of a failing turbo
- Power loss, the car feels flat under acceleration, underboost or overboost codes, limp mode.
- Whistle or whine rising with revs; scraping means the wheel is touching the housing.
- Blue or gray smoke from the exhaust, especially after idling.
- Oil in the intercooler and hoses, higher oil consumption.
- Black smoke on a diesel — could be the turbo, the injectors or an air leak.
Not every one of these means the turbo is broken. Often the culprit is a cracked hose, the boost control valve, sticky variable vanes or a clogged particulate filter.
Why turbos fail
The turbo itself rarely just breaks — outside causes kill it:
- Oil starvation and dirty oil: the shaft bearings live on clean, pressurized oil. A clogged oil feed line or long oil change intervals are common causes.
- Shutting down right after hard driving: after a mountain climb or a fast run, let the engine idle briefly so the turbo cools.
- Foreign object: a piece of air filter or an intake part smashes the compressor wheel.
- High back pressure: a clogged catalytic converter or DPF.
- Worn piston rings: crankcase gases push oil through the turbo — then a new turbo will not help.
How we work
- Diagnostics: scan tool, boost pressure on the road, smoke check, intake leak test.
- Inspection with hoses off: shaft play, rub marks, oil on the inlet and outlet.
- Decision: rebuild, remanufactured or new — with a price for each option.
- Before fitting — oil and filter change, oil feed and return lines checked or replaced, intercooler cleaned.
- Installation, priming with oil before start-up, boost and fault code check.
A remanufactured turbo is a housing with a new cartridge. Quality depends heavily on who rebuilt it, so we agree the source and price with you before ordering.

FAQ
Rebuild or replace the turbo?
If the housing and shaft are not damaged, a rebuild is usually cheaper. With a smashed wheel or damaged housing — replacement. We compare prices before work starts.
Turbo leaking oil — is it always the turbo?
No. Often it is a clogged crankcase ventilation, the oil return line or worn rings. We check before replacing.
Can I drive with a whistling turbo?
Briefly and gently. If scraping or heavy smoke appears, stop: debris can get into the engine.
How long will it take?
1-3 working days, depending on turbo or rebuild kit availability.
