Prevention of Turbocharger Damage

The best way to prevent turbocharger damage is to maintain your car rigorously.

To minimize turbocharger wear car owners also need to pay attention to a few simple rules such as:

1. After starting the engine, let the engine idle for at least 60 seconds and then accelerate slightly. this process ensures a very good lubrication of the moving components of the turbine.

2. To stop the oil vapor from entering the turbocharger on the intake side, it is advisable not to idle for more than 30 minutes.

3. Before stopping the engine after a longer journey, allow the engine to idle and cool down for 2 minutes.

The quality of the fuel supplied contributes a lot to the life of a turbocharger. Be careful where and what is fed.

For a long life of a turbocharger, it is recommended for PKW cars older than 8 years that the revisions be made up to 10,000km. Use only the oils that are recommended for the respective engines and ensure the purity of the intake air by using high quality filters, and the place where it is mounted to be cleaned at every change.
