How to Solve Turbocharger Overheating and Turning Red?
1 Answers
If the turbocharger turns red due to overheating, you can let the engine idle for a while to allow the turbo temperature to decrease. During this time, opening the engine hood can help dissipate heat more quickly. Below is an introduction to related information: 1. Turbocharger: A turbocharger consists of two main components—a compressor turbine and an exhaust turbine. The working principle of a turbocharged engine is quite simple. Once the engine reaches a certain RPM, the exhaust gases generate sufficient energy to drive the exhaust turbine, which in turn rotates the compressor turbine. This action compresses air and forces it into the engine cylinders. 2. Precautions: After driving a turbocharged vehicle at high speeds or over long distances, avoid turning off the engine immediately. Instead, let it idle for a few minutes to assist in cooling down the turbocharger.
