To increase fuel efficiency, maintain performance and reduce emissions, vehicle manufacturers are adding turbocharged engines to their lineups at a significant rate. Over the next five years, the turbo service market will continue to experience substantial growth.Two typical diagnostic trouble codes for turbochargers include P0299 (underboost) and P0234 (overboost). If you're receiving an underboost code, the issue could be a turbo wastegate that's stuck in the open position or a leak between the compressor and throttle. Causes of overboost include a wastegate that is stuck in the closed position, a turbo wastegate vent solenoid that is stuck in the vent position, leaking or disconnected control hoses.When installing a replacement turbo, first, ensure that the air ductwork is sealed and perfectly clean. Confirm there is proper lubrication and cooling at the turbo. The new turbo should have fresh engine oil bled through it before starting the engine. Finally, make certain that a new air filter is installed along with an oil change and replacement of any applicable breathers. |
