NOTE:
If mechanical damage is found on the turbocharger (for example a destroyed compressor wheel), just replacing the turbocharger is not enough. To avoid subsequent damage later, perform the following steps:
Check the air filter housing, air filter element and air duct hoses for contamination.
Check the entire charge air circuit and charge air cooler for foreign objects.
If there are foreign objects in the charge air system, clean the charge air circuit and replace the charge air cooler if necessary.
