What does TSI stand for in cars?
1 Answers
TSI stands for Turbocharged Stratified Injection technology by Volkswagen. Here are specific introductions to common faults in car turbocharging: 1. Turbocharger oil leakage fault: High oil consumption but normal exhaust color with no power loss. Generally caused by oil seepage. 2. Compressor end oil leakage: High oil consumption with blue exhaust smoke but no power drop. Caused by oil entering the combustion chamber through the engine intake pipe due to compressor end leakage. 3. Excessive wear between piston and cylinder: High oil consumption with blue or black exhaust smoke and power reduction. Caused by oil entering the combustion chamber due to excessive wear between piston and cylinder. 4. Excessive bearing wear: Metal friction sound from turbocharger. Black exhaust smoke, power reduction, and abnormal noise from turbocharger. Possibly caused by excessive wear of turbocharger rotor bearings or thrust bearings, resulting in impeller friction against the turbocharger housing.
