What are the symptoms of a diesel engine turbocharger failure?

[DiKingston]

Diesel engine turbocharger failure can lead to symptoms such as engine power loss, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, oil burning, and low oil levels. If the turbocharger fails, you should not continue driving. If the turbocharger's sealing ring is damaged, exhaust gases can enter the engine's lubrication system through the sealing ring, contaminating the oil and rapidly increasing the crankcase pressure, which can cause excessive oil consumption and oil burning. Relevant information about turbochargers is as follows: 1. Turbocharger: A piston-type aircraft engine uses a turbocharger to increase the intake pressure in 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 deliver greater takeoff power but also improve the engine's altitude characteristics. 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.
