What are the symptoms of a broken engine turbocharger?
1 Answers
Here are the symptoms of a broken engine turbocharger: 1. Blue or white smoke from the exhaust pipe, accompanied by a decrease in power. 2. Increased fuel consumption and higher oil consumption. 3. Unstable turbo pressure. 4. Abnormal noises, high water temperature, unstable engine speed, and ineffective turbocharging. Here are methods to determine the condition of the turbocharger: 1. Listen: Normal wear cannot be heard unless foreign objects damage the impeller, affecting dynamic balance and causing slight vibration sounds. Look: Remove the exhaust pipe connected to the compressor side to check for oil presence or excessive blue smoke from the exhaust. 2. Use: The engine feels relatively weak when accelerating (above approximately 1200 rpm). 3. Measure: Use a pressure gauge to measure intake pressure; normal pressure ranges from 0.2 to 0.3 MPa.
