SYMPTOM CHART

Condition Possible Sources Action
  • Loss of power/performance
  • Clogged Air Cleaner (ACL) element
  • Loose connections or damage to air intake hoses and tubes
  • TIGHTEN the hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary.
  • Malfunctioning fuel system
  • Poor fuel quality
  • DRAIN and FILL with fresh fuel.
  • Engine wear (piston rings, valve guides)
  • REPAIR as required.
  • Turbocharger turbine or compressor wheel damage
  • Damaged exhaust or exhaust leaks at turbocharger housing or exhaust manifolds
  • INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required.
  • Malfunctioning turbocharger bypass valve
  • Obstructed wastegate actuator linkage
  • INSPECT the suspect turbocharger wastegate linkage for obstruction. REPAIR as necessary.
  • Damaged wastegate actuator linkage
  • INSPECT the suspect turbocharger wastegate linkage for damage. INSTALL a new turbocharger.
  • Wastegate actuator operation
  • PCM - DTCs
  • Excessive oil consumption
  • Incorrect type or grade of oil
  • DRAIN and FILL with specified oil.
  • Oil in exhaust manifolds
  • REPAIR as required.
  • Clogged ACL element
  • Blocked or restricted turbocharger oil drain pipes
  • INSPECT the turbocharger oil drain pipes. REPAIR as necessary.
  • Damaged or collapsed air intake hoses and tubes
  • TIGHTEN hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary.
  • Damaged exhaust or exhaust leaks at turbocharger housing or exhaust manifolds
  • INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required.
  • Turbocharger oil seals leaking
  • Damaged crankcase ventilation system
  • Visually INSPECT the crankcase ventilation system.
  • Excessive noise
  • Turbocharger compressor air intake pipe leaking
  • REPAIR or INSTALL a new pipe as required.
  • Loose connections or damage to air intake hoses and tubes
  • TIGHTEN hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary.
  • Air leaks at turbine housing, blown joints or damaged exhaust
  • INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required.
  • Carbon build up in the turbine housing causing contact with turbine wheel
  • Turbocharger imbalance due to foreign object/damage
  • REPAIR as required.
  • Turbine bearing failure
  • Inoperative turbocharger bypass valve
  • Engine emits excessive smoke (black/blue/white)
  • Clogged ACL element
  • Incorrect type or grade of oil
  • DRAIN and FILL with specified oil.
  • Blocked or restricted turbocharger oil drain pipes
  • INSPECT the turbocharger oil drain pipes. REPAIR as necessary.
  • Damaged/restricted or leaking turbocharger compressor air intake pipe
  • REPAIR or INSTALL a new pipe as required.
  • Engine wear (piston rings, valve guides)
  • REPAIR as required.
  • Plugged crankcase ventilation system
  • Visually INSPECT the crankcase ventilation system.
  • Turbocharger oil seals leaking
