What are the symptoms of a faulty oil-gas separator?
1 Answers
When the oil-gas separator is damaged, it can cause the engine to shake after a cold start, burn engine oil, lead to severe carbon buildup in the engine, and produce a sharp, whistle-like sound. Some vehicles may also trigger the engine fault light due to an overly rich air-fuel mixture. Here is an introduction to the oil-gas separator: 1. The main function of the oil-gas separator is to filter gases from the engine oil, ensuring optimal fluidity and lubrication performance. 2. The oil-gas separator effectively maintains the lubrication of friction components in the engine, reducing wear and corrosion caused by insufficient lubrication. Additionally, it helps maintain equal pressure between the crankcase and the atmosphere, minimizing oil leakage due to pressure differences.
