Description: Turbo faults can be scary, you can end up with...
Steps:
- Removing your faulty Turbo
- Replacing your faulty Turbo
- Once you have refitted your Turbo and reconnected all hoses and filters you need to check a few things:
- Check the oil level - this will certainly need topping up. Bear in mind that you will need to replace the oil and filter within 500 miles.
- Ensure your coolant and all other fluids are topped off to ensure they will not cause any problems in general operation.
- Run the motor
- Pay close attention to coolant levels and any warning on the instrument cluster
- There may still be oil in the exhaust system, this will start to burn as the vehicle warms up.
- If you notice smoke immediately (from a cold engine) stop the motor immediately and check all your connections. This could be an indication that oil is getting burnt in the turbo.
- If all looks ok and the car is brought up to temperature, while idling, gently increase the revs up and down over the course of a few minutes - shut down and check for leaks. You are done!
