WARNING:
Before beginning any service procedure, refer to SAFETY WARNINGS
. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
The turbocharger must be pre-oiled before carrying out this check.
NOTE:
Turbine and compressor wheels must spin freely when turned by hand. No housing contact is permitted.
- Inspect the turbocharger compressor and turbine fins for damage. If the compressor or turbine wheel fins are damaged, replace the turbocharger.
- Press and rotate the turbocharger shaft, then repeat from the opposite side. If either the compressor wheel or the turbine wheel contacts the housing, the bearings are bad and a new turbocharger must be installed.
