If a turbocharger has failed, clean any turbocharger debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler system before installing the new turbocharger. Failure to clean debris from the charge air cooler system will cause severe turbocharger and engine damage upon startup.
Completely inspect the turbocharger (1) and all other engine components that may cause similar conditions before replacing the turbocharger (1). Symptoms - Engine Mechanical
- Clean all mating surfaces.
- Inspect all threaded holes for damage.
