BorgWarner Turbo and Emissions Systems has updated its Turbocharger Troubleshooting Matrix for turbo diesel engines. The tool displays problem descriptions and the possible causes when turbo failure symptoms occur and now displays a simple graphic showing where to look if you think a turbo is damaged.
Because a defective turbocharger is often the consequence of some other primary engine defect, simply simply replacing the turbocharger alone cannot cure the problem. The Turbocharger Troubleshooting Matrix can help identify the root cause of the problem, allowing the proper repairs to be made and the vehicle returned to service quickly, says the company.
The matrix can be downloaded at http://www.turbodriven.com/en/service/default.aspx for distribution to all fleet and maintenance personnel responsible for maximizing uptime and reducing repair costs of diesel powered vehicles.
