What are the symptoms of turbocharger failure?
1 Answers
Turbine failure symptoms include: 1. Blue or white smoke from the exhaust pipe; 2. Decreased power; 3. Increased fuel consumption; 4. Increased oil consumption; 5. Metal friction sounds; 6. Oil leakage in the turbo intercooler pipes; 7. Engine oil entering the intake pipe. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases from internal combustion engines to drive air compressors. Causes of turbocharger failure include: 1. Insufficient lubricating oil pressure and flow; 2. Debris or sediment entering the lubrication system, causing oil oxidation and deterioration; 3. Clogged turbocharger oil return pipe, leading to excessive oil accumulation in the intermediate support of the rotor assembly, which then flows along the rotor shaft into the compressor impeller.
