Last December, my husband accidentally left the radiator cap open. Our car was working fine but problem arises after this incident. We have already spent over P20,000.00 for repairs and parts replacement. And this January the turbocharger broke.
The technician we spoke to informed us that an oil change should have been done on the Tucson after the car repairs were made due to the overheat. This may have somehow prevented that turbocharger from failing.
The car broke down near a local technician known in our town. He was able to diagnose the problem and informed us that we need to replace the turbocharger. Here in our country, there are only few repair shops that offer repair for turbocharger. There are some that post turbocharger repairs online but will charge you P30,000.00 - P40,000.00 that is just for rebuilding the turbocharger. You'll still need to hire another technician to install the turbocharger back to place.
Before spending over P30,000.00+ for turbocharger replacement. Watch this video and learn to do it yourself!

With this video, we were able to save over P20,000.00+ on turbocharger and just ordered turbocharger cartridge core on eBay. We bought ours from Powertec Autoparts.
Have it shipped and received the parts after 7 days. The best thing about this is, my husband was able to rebuild the turbocharger by himself.
