Turbocharger repair
The turbocharger uses the exhaust gases to push more air into the engine. Signs of a failing turbo are a loss of power, a loud whistle, blue or black smoke and oil consumption. It can be reconditioned or replaced, but first the cause has to be found, most often lubrication: old oil, blocked oil lines or switching the engine off right after a hard drive. Otherwise the new one fails too.
- How often
- There is no fixed interval: when the symptoms appear. Oil changed on time and a minute of idling after a hard drive make it last longer.
