Foreign bodies
Foreign bodies, such as grains of sand or metal fil-
ings, in the turbine or compressor will damage their
blades.
This leads to imbalance and bearing wear. Engine out-
put falls off and continued operation could give rise to
overheating damage on account of a decrease in the
supply of air.
This type of overheating cannot be observed on the
coolant temperature gauge.
NOTE!
Never attempt to straighten a damaged impeller. It
will usually break in operation causing the turbo-
charger to break down and may also cause
enginedamage.
Change the entire turbocharger.
Air and exhaust leakage
Even small leaks in the line between the air cleaner
and turbocharger cause dirt deposits on the compres-
sor wheel.
Charge pressure decreases with increased exhaust
temperature, causing smoke. In addition, the engine
is worn unnecessarily.
Exhaust leakage between cylinder head and turbo-
charger also results in lower charge pressure.
Cleaning the compressor wheel
Low charge pressure can be caused by a dirty com-
pressor wheel, for example.
- Remove the compressor housing.
- Wash the compressor wheel using white spirit
and a brush.
- Fit the compressor housing and measure charge
pressure again.
NOTE!
The compressor wheel must not be removed from
the shaft. Imbalance may occur when it is refit-
ted.
NOTE!
Whenever working on the turbocharger, observe
utmost cleanliness. The oil intake and outlet con-
nections must never be left open. A foreign body
in the bearing housing can quickly cause total
breakdown.
Oil leakage
With a clogged air cleaner, the vacuum in the intake
pipe will be excessive. There is then a risk that oil mist
will be sucked out of the turbocharger’s bearing hous-
ing.
If the seal on the turbine side is worn, exhaust gas is
blue when idling.
If the oil outlet pipe from the turbocharger is damaged,
there is a risk of oil leaking out through the seals due
to lubrication oil pressure.
Oil filter
The turbocharger rotates at high speed, sometimes
above 100.000 rpm.
The oil lubricates and cools the turbocharger. Efficient
lubrication is extremely important. There is no separate
turbo filter and the oil passes through the engine oil
filter. For this reason, change the oil filter and clean
the oil filter assembly in accordance with our instruc-
tions.
Use filter wrench
8388
when removing the oil filter.
If the oil filter assembly is not cleaned, the oil filter will
soon become clogged and its resistance to the flow
of oil will increase.
A valve in the filter holder then opens and allows the
oil to pass through the filter without being cleaned (fil-
tered). Unfiltered oil is consequently supplied to the
turbocharger with heavy bearing wear as a result.
The valve is designed for genuine Moxy filters and only
these should be used.
