Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

  • Oil or coolant leak visible near the turbo
  • Turbo failure from oil starvation caused by a blocked or leaking feed pipe
  • Smoke from oil leaking onto the hot turbo housing

Installation information

Requires draining the relevant fluid before disconnecting — always fit new sealing washers or O-rings at the connections.

Frequently asked questions

The turbo bearings spin at extremely high speeds and rely entirely on a steady oil supply for lubrication and cooling — even a brief interruption from a blocked or leaking pipe can cause bearing damage.
