Symptoms of a broken turbocharger in a diesel vehicle: 1. The engine lacks turbocharging effect; 2. Prolonged operation leads to poor exhaust heat dissipation; 3. A sharp, screeching noise occurs when the engine is running; 4. Insufficient air intake into the combustion chamber, resulting in decreased power; 5. Pressing the accelerator increases black smoke emission without power gain. The turbocharger utilizes exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe to drive the turbine at high speed, simultaneously rotating the compressor impeller via the rotor shaft. The high-speed compressor impeller pressurizes the intake air, increasing the air density entering the cylinders and enhancing the diesel engine's power output. The turbocharger is a crucial component for boosting engine power and reducing exhaust emissions.
