Good Day
I am brand new to the forum and look forward to some assistance. I have a 2014 SRX 4x4 D/Cab with 555 000km with a full service history from Toyota. Ive noticed that my turbo is starting to leak a bit of oil and hope someone can guide me to a reputable workshop that can fix this before its too late. I could get Toyota to sort it out but am hoping to save a few Rands on repairing vs replacing. Im in Johannesburg if someone can refer me. Many Thanks.

Re: SRX 4x4 Turbo
You can contact Turbo Direct or Turboworks.
Whilst the turbo is out, just for a few bucks more, they can upgrade the turbo which will give you some performance gains.

Re: SRX 4x4 Turbo
Wow... 555 000km. Is that still the original turbo. If so then it had a good run.
Maybe worth checking the injectors while you at it? I know of the injector issues with the 3.0. I don't think i heard of issues with the 2.5

Re: SRX 4x4 Turbo
Good advice!
IF you can, also fit a Cirrus intercooler and a Unichip. Then you will have upwards of 100kw.

Re: SRX 4x4 Turbo
Thank you everyone for the amazing advise and will certainly look at all the options. Yes....555 000km and going strong, as well as the original Turbo yes....
