Just found your channel. Hands down the best channel in terms of turbo chargers. Up till now I've been more or less in the dark trying to diagnose the issues with my turbo.
I always see bad turbo videos but could you make a video how a good turbo would function and sound? I am about to buy a seat leon 2.0 tsfi fr from 2008 and i have no experience with turbo cars or the seat leon to begin with! Cheers.
My Peugeot 308 has been to alot of workshops and they cant seem to find the problem. The car runs bad at idle while cold and when its warm it will start to get better. I also have some lagging when in 1 gear. But now i can start hear the turbo whitsle, as if i have gave the car a blow of vavle. It happends once i get to 3000rpm and release the throttle. Could the issue be my turbo? Also Peugeot workshop have failed to find the issue. Ive already changed spark plugs, chain, cleaned all hoses.
Most turbos are fine that get replaced, I see it all of the time out here in diesels, mainly semis, thirteen and fifteen litres. These dealers and shops know that most of you guys have no clue how your motor operates, so you are easy pickings. I know, they have gotten me too, then I educated myself. Most of the time it is simply a bad sensor in the emission system. You do need to do regular maintenance on these emission systems, one of them is to change out your sensors, intake and exhaust back pressure are the two main ones. Then clean those EGR Valves and EGR Coolers, and yes, you can clean them, but you have to remove them first. Then the DPF and DOC filters, SCR too. You need to replace or clean them periodically. These shops see you guys coming from a mile away. Bad sensor, you get a new turbo! You pay the $8000 and down the road you go! One hundred miles later, that check engine light flips back on... You go back, and you get an EGR Cooler or a new EGR Valve... And the cycle continues until you are broke. And all you needed was a $70 sensor that you yourself could have bought and installed in the parking lot.
02 Guiii Patrol 3lt TD, sounds like a siren, mechanic reckons its fine after doing tests, despite sound and serious lag when driving. Not sure whats wrong
Hi my truck has been black smoking several mounts and started make little noises when i go up hill ? It is 2015 freightliner Coronado. I think that turbo is bad so I want to buy it
2014 Ford Fusion, Engine was replaced for cracked head under warranty, 20k miles later turbo, intake and oil pump have to be replaced because "gunked up". Would that not have been replaced with the engine? No longer under warranty they say.
Change your oil more often than they recommend. Might've just swapped the head out knowing Ferd, but in 20k that'd be about regular for a modern domestic vehicle. Buy a Kia/Hyundai, probably still will die, but heard much better about their customer service long term.
Wouldn’t it blow white smoke? Black smoke is unburned fuel? Only reason I say that is because I had a Ford diesel that was blowing lots of white smoke and was very under powered. After looking the intake pipe to the intake had come off so all the boosted air was leaking out and engine wasn’t getting enough air. So wouldn’t it be similar in case of a bad turbo?
In my experience from when my intake pipe blew off my old mk4 jetta diesel.. Black smoke not white. Anytime you're pushing more fuel than the air allows for you get black smoke
@@jmaegm black smoke can easily be caused by a loose or busted coupling because a massive boost leak will make it run really rich until the ecu pulls fuel
Audi A3 1.6 TDI. My engine is losing power occasionally and I’m stalling it when pulling away. Also occasionally. The coil light flashes intermittently, seems when the engine has warmed up? I need to get it in to a garage but just want to know if it is the turbo. Been told it could be. Thanks in advance for any advice.
@@StandingStrong66 I had a German made VW TDI, and the intercooler would fill with water, giving me all of the signs of a bad turbo. I would have to routinely get under there and drain the water out. Thank God VW bought that thing back.

So I installed a fullrace intercooler on my F-150. After hitting 20psi boost the charge air pipe coupler leading to the manifold popped off bc I didn’t tighten the holes clamp enough. I’ve reattached it and tightened it down after it happened . Should I be concerned about any possible damage from that?
I've got an F350 6.0l, and when I'm pushing it, like towing my boat or something I can hear a very high pitch whine coming from the engine. It's barely audible to the point that it took me a while to be sure it was there, and it's so high pitched that it's at the edge of my hearing range. I'm new to this sort of engine, is that likely to be the turbo and is it a sign of trouble or normal?
My turbo looks perfectly fine but it builds no boost. Took it to a shop recently to change the head gasket but shortly after I did a half wot pull to like 55mph and right after the turbo started making a supercharger whine lmao
I took my truck for head gaskets and new trans and it runs like shit now. Can’t get over 6-8psi and it shifts funny. Blows no black smoke at all I hold it to the floor while taking off and it hits the rev limiter and blows a bit white smoke. Hopefully just a sensor but my luck I expect nothing but the worse. I bet I blew mine to 😢
So a year ago my turbo imploded driving down the highway, had a local shop replace it, took forever and he said they put a brand new factory cord like 15 or 16 turbo into my 6.7 ford, right out of the shop it didn’t sound right, had a loud howl and I said I’m no mechanic but that’s not right, he said oh no it’s supposed to sound like that you aren’t used to it because that’s what it sounds like new, never heard a turbo that sounded that bad. Anyway I thought screw it and drove on and figured if it busted they had to replace it anyway. A week later a lot of smoke started coming out of the exhaust, so I took it back he agreed it was bad and said he would replace it. I walked into the shop to pick it back up and saw the “new turbo” they had installed and taken out and it did not look brand new with a weeks worth of use on it, looked more like a bad re manufacture. The next one they had in sounded nearly right but I still said there was a faint howl but again I didn’t want to screw with it and now a year later the howl is nearly like the last one. What’s the diagnosis of that? Howls in 1st and second gear, can’t hear it down the highway, the whistle when it’s spoiling down back to idle sounds normal but that initial acceleration sounds like a police siren
My car is Ford ECOSPORT 1.0 titinium, 2019 model with 74 km after service on 29 Jan after a month it started to lose power gradually then started to vibrate when u stop it then have difficulty in moving in steeply places, is that connected to turbo failure or could be plugs

Is it safe to use fuel treatments/additives in a turbo engine like the 3.5L EcoBoost?
I know banjo bolt screens can get clogged too and deprive the turbo of oil. On subarus any ways.

It ain't a sensor for everyone just because it happened to you. You can't assume until you get into it.

Volvo d13 my trubo blow like a tire and all oil goes to the exhaust pipe do you konw wht cause
Nice
Thank you!
I have a loud whistle noise coming from turbo side on my 579. Just replaced it with a brand new one. Guess I got a leak from the couplers?
Check for exhaust leaks or leaks from your EGR. Double check all your hoses for any loose connections or holes.

Possible that it may be your turbo. If the sound isn't going away, you may want to have it checked by a technician.

Can a bad seal on a turbo foul out the spark plugs with oil
Oil may be getting to the spark plugs by passing the piston rings. They could be worn out.
@@Highwayandheavyparts it happened overnight, I think the turbo was pushed too hard when there was a boost leak.
My turbo looks perfectly fine but it builds no boost.
Took it to a shop recently to change the head gasket but shortly after I did a half wot pull to like 55mph and right after the turbo started making a supercharger whine lmao

Turbo will fail soon, get a bran new one, expensive but worth
Your turbo charger still bad mal functioning
After driving your Turboed Car you need to let your car idle so turbo cools down, as it may be very hot.
This is your diagnosis.
i just had that and the imput shaft play was bad, get a quality rebuilt
