CAUTION:

If mechanical damage is found on the turbocharger, for example, a destroyed compression wheel, it is not enough to just replace the turbocharger. Perform the following steps to prevent subsequent damage.

Clean all oil lines.
Change the engine oil and the oil filter.
Check the air filter housing, the air filter element and the intake hoses for contamination.
Check the entire charge air circuit and air cooler for contamination.

If contaminants are found in the charge air circuit, the entire circuit must be cleaned and the cooler replaced if necessary.

The oil supply pipe must be replaced when installing a new turbocharger.
