Tips for turbochargers

A turbocharger has the task of optimizing the engine performance. You should handle it well and follow a couple of small tips so that he can accomplish this task to your satisfaction any time.

Start and run down gently

The turbocharger, like the engine itself, a certain oil lubrication so that it can function properly. Therefore, you should drive in a low engine speed range for about thirty seconds right after starting the engine. This is how long it takes until the oil circulation is built up and engine and turbochargers can optimally be provided with oil.

It is just as important to run down the engine gently. Before you stop the engine, it should be operated in a low speed range for about twenty seconds. If you stop it immediately off out from the high-speed range, the turbocharger continues to operate for a while, but without the oil that is necessary for its operation.

Regular check and maintenance

The turbocharger is an important component of the engine. Because of this, he should be checked just as often as the engine himself. Like this, possible weak points can be recognized early, before they cause a worse (and therefore in most cases also costly) damage.

A regular maintenance and, if necessary, also an exchange of the filters is particularly important. The filters situated in front of the compressor protect the turbocharger from foreign objects and pollutions which can cause considerable damage if they intrude unhinderedly from the outside.

If an overhaul of the engine is planned, it also makes sense to have the turbocharger checked. So, the engine and the turbocharger can work optimally coordinated.

In case of warning signal react immediately

Vibrations and unusual noises are warning signals of your turbocharger to which you should react as quickly as possible and stop the engine. If you ignore the warning signals, however, the further operation of the turbocharger can cause expensive consequential damages, for example on the bearings or seals.

You should do the same when noticing an oil leakage. An insufficient lubrication is one of the most frequent fault causes of the turbocharger and should be absolutely avoided. Especially at high rotational speeds and in case of an oil leakage the bearings can be affected and turn out completely already after few seconds.

Unbeatable: Experts and specialist companies

The fundamental construction of a turbocharger is not too complicated, but still one should not play around with it. Single components of the turbocharger have very low production tolerances of up to one thousandth millimeter. Only experts can work precisely like this. In addition to that, a specialist company has the necessary equipment to maintain and repair the turbocharger. For example, the turbocharger must be heaved on a special machine to be able to work properly at rotational speeds of up to 300,000 revolutions per minute.

In particular, you shouldn't try to change the boost pressure without the help of an expert. If the boost pressure turns out too high, the engine could overheat which could cause consequential damages to the piston, cylinder head or engine mounts. Therefore, trust the competence of the specialist companies: Trained specialists who do not only maintain your turbocharger with expertise but also repair it, overhaul it or exchange it if required.
