Well the turbo replacement isnt even nessesary but a lot of dealers are not getting the info they need to sort it by the sounds of it.. and the more the engine works on light throttle the more they seem to have the issue.

They are shite. Using them as cart tractors and they don't pull anywhere near as well as the 6930's they replaced. Same trailers, same road journeys.
They are ok as irrigation tractors though !

We have replaced two back in 2012 i think(before we sussed a fix as a necessity as we are so far away)... And sorted the rest easily with a factory fix. So we got on to them as selling and sorted the issue reasonably fast and we dont have any issues now.

Must be infectious now got a turbo actuator code fault dealer says turbo broken poss test Thursday still going fine sensor fault I think

We had a leaky coolant pipe to the turbo actuator, the Deere solution is just to remove the pipes and block them off. They say its not required now.

Replacement doesnt fix it really as I dont think the updated parts are in the turbos... Well they would have to check but I wouldnt trust it. So replacing it will bring the fault code again in X amount of hours usually im afraid.

The vane set need changing in the turbo exhaust housing. Theres a new set available that are better in material on one linkage. These arent a deere made turbo btw. But that will fix the issue.
The thing with a new turbo is who knows how long the turbo has been sitting there... So it might be old stock with the old vane set. For us its not worth the risk and downtime. So we will fit the new vanes and that will sort it. Hope this helps out.. Dealerships can find the info if they look now.

Really?
My dealer came out (unprompted) and did that modification to my 150r ....why would they just pitch up and do that if John Deere hadn't instructed them to?

The vgt cooling lines arent the reason the turbo is replaced. Its just the pipes on the vgt crack and need replacing. So they did away with the pipes as they werent needed. But its good they did it for you.
How do you get that vane set from Borg&Warner dealer ? When I have made turbo repair the guy told me that there is only that bearing&seal set for that turbo, there are no other parts ? I think he told me that it is BW 200 turbo.
