First of all, check for any warning lights on your dashboard. If the check engine light is on, it could be a sign of a faulty turbocharger. Next, listen for any unusual sounds coming from the engine, such as a high-pitched whining noise. This could also indicate a problem with the turbocharger.

Another way to check for a faulty turbocharger is to inspect the air intake pipe. Look for any cracks or leaks that can lead to a loss of boost pressure and reduced engine performance. If you notice any damage, it's best to replace the pipe as soon as possible.

If your Vauxhall Movano has a turbodiesel engine, you can also do a boost pressure test. This involves using a boost pressure gauge to measure the pressure coming from the turbo. If the pressure is lower than it should be, it's likely due to a faulty turbocharger.
