What are the symptoms of a broken turbocharger in a truck?
1 Answers
Truck turbocharger failure can cause symptoms such as engine weakness, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, oil burning, and oil shortage. If the turbocharger is broken, the truck should not continue to drive. If the turbocharger seal ring is damaged, exhaust gas will enter the engine lubrication system through the seal ring, contaminating the oil and rapidly increasing the crankcase pressure, leading to excessive oil consumption and oil burning. Relevant information about turbochargers is as follows: 1. Turbocharger: A piston-type aircraft engine uses a device to increase the intake pressure of the cylinders. Before entering the engine cylinders, the air is compressed by the turbocharger to increase its density, allowing more air to fill the cylinders and thereby increasing engine power. Engines equipped with turbochargers can not only output greater takeoff power but also improve altitude performance. 2. Automotive turbocharger: Turbocharging is a technology that compresses air before supplying it to the cylinders to increase air density and intake volume. The purpose is to increase air intake, enhance power, improve fuel economy, and reduce emissions.
