Bad TURBOcharger symptoms how to check and diagnose? Smoke, whine...

Not necessarily, if you only get a puff of smoke on your start ups and if it only lasts for a few seconds then it’s more than likely a build up of condensation. Completely harmless, nothing to worry about.

You shouldn't be using steel pliers to check movement of the turbo compressor wheel as every small scuff will change the balance of the turbo. Balancing the turbo requires specialist machinery. Cloth on the tips or use your fingers.

[@Work_G]

Yes, thank you for observation. I understand that and forgot to mention in video. All purpose was to show movement, because with fingers I cover all hove and there is no way to film that inside. Plus turbos in video is not in greatest shape.

Hi there, that sound at 1:39 while accelerating and then that sounded loss in power, what is that? It just happened today to my Citroen C4, please help so I can at least identify what it is.

[@Work_G]

If you heard something popped its might be that your intercooler pipe got disconnected or cracked.

[@TheAngryZebra]

Your Citroen C4 is working perfectly fine! The motor and turbo is completely seperate :) I'm a French NUT! Depending on the motor it could of been used by anyone from PSA/Peugeot/Citroen/BMW/Mini/Jaguar/Volvo/Ford. Grab your VIN number. Punch it into a parts catalog to grab your motor code. Search for problems with that motor and turbo. Check all intercooler pipes are flush to the end of the mounts. Tightened. Unplug your boost sensor to see if any change. Could indicate faulty sensor or leak. Do the same with air temp sensor and MAF. Grab an OBD2 scanner off eBay/AliExpress and 'Car scanner's for Android. Run through it and learn. These are Dakar Rally cars! Anyone who shits on French don't know what they are on about! If the turbo is knackered check the actuator sensor. If it's still stuffed grab a Melett (same guys as Garrett). The turbo's on these will take a beating all day if you have ran good oil. 200000km's is definitely not unheard of!

[@paho188_iron_phill4]

i have same problem no power at acceleration but no smoke for me at all any idea?

[@Work_G]

Start from simple things like obd scan, check vacuum lines, fuel, change air filter and so on

[@krunoslavnegulic9939]

Oily intake can also be a result of bad pcv valve, or a normal thing for vw pd engines due to oil vapors going back into engine. A OCC can solve that problem.

[@duey1083]

Please please please be careful with OCC if you live in a cold winter environment like Canada. I've had two bad experiences with them freezing off and plugging my PCV system. Near catastrophic engine damage in both cases...not always worth it in my opinion.

Hello Toyota avensis d4d 2.2 Diesel car when idling when you race engine there is whining noise coming from exhaust no smoke goes up and down when you push on accelerator what be problem thanks

[@Work_G]

Difficult to diagnose based on your comment but you should check intercooler piping and turbo itself

[@rafa_vsky]

only noticeable symptom is a little bit of oil on the intake pipe. not as much as on the video tho. the pipe on the intercooler unplugged a few weeks ago due to overboost i supose, and i haven't checked if there is any build up of oil since then. i do have a really small ammount of clear smoke uppon startups but it's really unconsistant. some times it does it, some it don't. plus turbo (according to previous owner) has arround 27k km only. so brand new turbo...

could a bad turbo be the reason why after warming up the engine, it start whistling even when idling? Also, once the engine goes above 2000 rpm, the whine stops. The engine is a VW TDI 1.9 66kw (90 hp) from 2001.

Turbo is one of reasons why it's smokes. If smoking is bluish that means oil burning, so it can be turbo, valve seals, oil rings and so on

You can see like thin film oil quantities (or like dew type). If it is really bad you will smell it from exhaust (burning oil smell) and probably will feel need to top up oil in to engine more often

On the older Zafira's you can do a pedal test to double check there are no stored codes. Before starting the car, push down the throat and brake peddle and keep depressed. Then whilst depressed, turn the ignition round stopping short of starting the car. Depending on the model will depend how a code is displayed. The really old ones will flash a code using the EML, count howa many flashes there are and that's your fault code. There will be a pause in the flash, and you are looking four four sets of flashes. For example; Flash, Flash Flash, Pause Flash Flash, Pause, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Pause, Flash. Stop This would be 3251. Ten flashes is a zero. Hope that helps, for error codes at least.

Sometimes when I accelerate, but sometimes it does that noise even when I don't, the car does a sound like a little whistle as if a valve is opening and closing, but again I have no knowledge of what it might be. I have no power loss and oil is at max level. I'll be taking it to the dealer next week. Any info perhaps?

[@Work_G]

Hi, it is hard to say something, may be that is just your mods, or vacuum leak.

[@xxwalhalaxxmozza7415]

Could be a leak from the flange plate behind the turbo or an actuator fault, buy an OBD reader off eBay for around £5, plug it in to your car diagnostic port and use internet to translate any fault codes, everyone should have an obd reader with an old car, this may just tell you where to look and save you a packet, join an owners club, they’ll probably be well aware of that exact fault

Cliffracer I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 3.0 v6 diesel turbo, there’s always something going wrong now as it’s a monster of parts and computer, thanks to joining an owners club we exchange problem info and get to resolutions quick, it’s saved me thousands

[@mr.nobody4900]

Thanks for making such informative video.

[@mjl6425]

Mine has all the above minus the smoking. Car is very laggy feels like it’s bogging. Got a rev really high before the turbo even kicks in. no in and out play but their are scratch marks all around the housing from the impeller making contact. car feels like a slug everything else is OK. Just no power. With all the symptoms I’m pretty sure turbo is worn out.

[@Work_G]

Yep, it seems like.

[@ctdisriguyvauxhaullmad1429]

Clean it with cleaner through turbo after maf . if vnt turbo just could be sticky veins

[@rhdem1harris768]

My turbo is leaking oil and when i hit boost hard my car starts to smoke (oil burning on the exhaust or something. Its my first turbo car, and i also have low dam drops (subaru) dam dropped to .400 ... Just chasing issues with little (basic) car knowledge

Very helpful, subbed and many thanks

[@Work_G]

Thank You!

My Bmw M550d f10 With removed dpf, I can smell oil, But no smoke no matter how hard i go with the car , only small amount off black when going from 0-with full throttle,, but very small,,, which is normal, My acceleration is Same as a 0 mileage m550d 13.5 100-200 so except my oil burning at 7-9000km 1 liter but luckily i do my oil change myself at 7500-8500km , and this car has 3 turbos how can i test them?

[@Work_G]

I never had experience with 3 turbos car, but I just can imagine since this car is pretty new you can find all info in diagnostics via obd.

[@Thomas-tgggg]

My car is getting white smoke but no other complaint like pickup problm or any other complnts.. is it turbo issue ?

[@Work_G]

Watch your coolant level, white smoke is burning coolant. Blue smokes is for oil

[@Thomas-tgggg]

GetWork it’s just normal..so issue

[@Work_G]

@@Thomas-tgggg Hard to say anything, because I don't know car and so on... But it can be pcv system or filter and so many more.

[@cuttthroatperformance2752]

Mine smokes but at the same time it's about 19°F outside when I turn it on so...

[@-Gunnarsson-]

I learnt the hard way. Oil squirting thru the intake.

[@marinvremes5702]

Thanks mate, now I know for shore my turbo will day suun, its whistle o cold start and acceleration it become slower, similar to some turbos in your video.

[@Work_G]

Glad it helped

[@wanted539]

If it sounds like a blower while accelerating?

[@Work_G]

Most likely leaky system

[@wanted539]

Yup it was missing a hose and on top of that had an oil leak at the manifold. So replaced the gasket and installed the missing hose.

[@Work_G]

​@@wanted539 Happy that it helped

[@abduljakolvintamuden3278]

Hi.. my turbo is leaking oil on the intake.. what is the problem? Thanks in advance.. ☺

[@Work_G]

Hello, if oil is inside intake big chances that your turbo is blown, if it is on top may be gasket or loose fitting

[@bigbenholdings6496]

Can replacing the cartridge cure all these?

[@Work_G]

Yes, if housings not damaged.

[@Rawoondu]

Very informative thanks a lot for uploading this

[@Work_G]

Thank you for watching!

[@darj150]

do you have full video that starts at 1:07?

[@Work_G]

Sorry but I don't have it now.

[@gravemind6536]

The car in this video is accelerating normally its not a TDI but an SDI its a 1.9 NA Diesel and naturally slow as fuck its also reliable but as they age the thermostat tends to break which is why they read as being cold even though they are not.

[@187Phatcat]

Awesome video! I thought my piston rings were going bad.

[@Work_G]

Glad it helped

[@juancarloslozano3374]

Great video! Thanks!

[@omerdogan85234]

Great video, very explanatory

[@TheCarminator007]

If the impeller moving like the end of the video it's already burn oil and has oily intake? I mean all this symptoms comes together? By the way thanks the video it is helpfull!

[@Work_G]

If you have all symptoms that means that your turbo is on the way out completely

[@grahammaddison7482]

@@Work_G hi I have a 1,6hdi 2012 Peugeot partner.which has a slight whistle when driving.also when pulling of a slight uneven sound which gets louder with speed.there was a bit of oily smell smoke on a morning for a couple of months which suddenly just stopped altogether but now have this whining sound any ideas please 🙏

[@Work_G]

@@grahammaddison7482 Based on your story, I would assume that your turbo is also on the way out and burns a little oil that you noticed. May be now your intercooler or one of pipes got hole in it and oil drips on the ground and when you drive you get that whistle sound because of boost leak. If my theory is right this video will help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqqQYoJsi5WpocU

That sound 😭😭😭

Very good explanations sir

Thanks

[@kelvinleong915]

The strange sound mean?

[@markyyyyyyyy321]

Love the calming music to prevent you from losing your shit when you realise your turbo had failed

[@Work_G]

Lol that's a good point

[@anki2124]

Thanks for the informative video

[@tousseefharoun2746]

Mine whines like that and it was down to bad turbo shaft

[@doejohn8248]

thanks. thought i blew a gasket after i took a STI to gapplebee's

[@joshAKAtheman]

the sti blew a head gasket for sure

[@AdamCairns_]

Mine makes that whining sound. Any help?

[@Work_G]

Just check it. I could be boost leak, could be turbo itself. Try to go through all system and for turbo, spin shaft with hand and you feel if something wrong.

[@AdamCairns_]

@@Work_G Thanks for the advice :)

[@mjl6425]

Do a Boost leak test first! Turbos are pretty expensive and you don’t want to replace if you don’t have to.

[@lemmy999]

@@Work_G I'm looking for leaks on mine. But I suddenly got in mine and got that whining noise and have 0 boost. If it is a bearing issue then that sound makes me think the turbo is still turning so I would think I would get some boost. But if the bearing is fully seized, then I would think there would be no sound. I just don't understand how that sound could be made and have absolutely no boost, unless it is a leak of course.

[@Work_G]

@@lemmy999 Yes, first of all that can be just leak, and engine is sucking air no matter what, even if turbo is seazed.
