WESGET Turbo Failure English

The document discusses turbocharger maintenance and fault finding. It states that the turbocharger is an integral part of the engine and must be properly maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This includes using the correct oil and changing it regularly. It then lists common turbocharger symptoms like loss of power or smoke and potential causes such as a dirty air filter or restricted exhaust, emphasizing that the turbocharger itself is often not the cause. The document provides a comprehensive chart of symptoms and corresponding actions to identify the root problem before replacing the turbocharger.

greater thermal load conditions of turbocharged engines
and the engine manufacturer’s recommendations must be

While the bearing assembly will operate indefinitely with
minor scores, the continuous induction of dirt in this
area will result in eventual failure.
A shortage of oil will also have serious consequences.

Turbocharger Fault Finding
Loss of power, excess smoke, high fuel consumption, overheating, turbochargers
high exhaust temperatures and oil leakages from the turbocharger
are all symptoms that could indicate turbocharger malfunction.
However, these faults are often wrongly attributed to the turbocharger
because defects in other components can produce the same
symptoms. The turbocharger performance can only be impaired by
