3) Troubleshooting Sequence
The basic checks for intake system are as follows:
Basic Checks for Intake System
Make sure to replace or clean the air cleaner
element periodically. Otherwise, engine will be
derated or work abnormally because of low
intake air volume.
Unlike the fuel system, which is a closed
circuit, the intake system is an open circuit
system. Therefore any malfunction may occur
due to dust and dirt.
Most of the connections consist of hoses so
the system cannot withstand high temperature
and pressure. Also it can be deformed or
loosened easily because it is a clamp
mounting system. Thus, when checking the
engine, basic inspections, such as tightened
status check and visual inspection for hose,
etc., should be carried out in advance.
Other Checks for Intake System
If the intake system is free of any faults, check
for EGR and PCV oil separator.

2. INSPECTION
1) Cautions During Driving
The following lists cautions to take during test drive and on the turbocharger vehicle, which must be
considered during the operation.
It's important not to drastically increase the engine rpm starting the engine. It could make rotation at
excessive speed even before the journal bearing is lubricated and when the turbocharger rotates in
poor oil supply condition, it could cause damage of bearing seizure within few seconds.
If the engine is running radically after replacing the engine oil or oil filter brings poor oil supply
condition. To avoid this, it's necessary to start off after idling the engine for about 1 minute allowing oil
to circulate to the turbocharger after the replacement.
When the engine is stopped abruptly after driving at high speed, the turbocharger continues to rotate
in condition where the oil pressure is at '0'. In such condition, an oil film between the journal bearing
and the housing shaft journal section gets broken and this causes abrasion of the journal bearing due
to the rapid contact. The repeat of such condition significantly reduces life of the turbocharger.
Therefore, the engine should be stopped possibly in the idle condition. 1.

After string for long period of time during winter season or in the low temperature condition where the
fluidity of engine oil declines, the engine, before being started, should be cranked to circulate oil and
must drive after checking the oil pressure is in normal condition by idling the engine for few minutes.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
The followings are cautions to take in handling defects of turbocharger, which must be fully aware of.
1) Cautions
After stopping the engine, check whether the bolts on pipe connecting section are loose as well as
the connecting condition of vacuum port and modulator, which is connected to the actuator.
During idling of the engine, check for leakage in the connecting section of pipe (hoses and pipes,
duct connections, after the turbocharger) by applying soap water. The leakage condition in the
engine block and turbine housing opening can be determined by the occurrence of abnormal noise o
f
exhaust.
By running the engine at idle speed, abnormal vibration and noise can be checked. Immediately stop
the engine when abnormal vibration and noise is detected and make thorough inspection whether
the turbocharger shaft wheel has any damages as well as checking the condition of connections
between pipes.
In case where the noise of engine is louder than usual, there is possibility of dampness in the areas
related with air cleaner and engine or engine block and turbocharger. And it could affect the smooth
supply of engine oil and discharge.
Check for damp condition in exhaust gas when there is sign of thermal discoloration or discharge of
carbon in connecting area of the duct.
When the engine rotates or in case where there is change in noise level, check for clogging of air
cleaner or air cleaner duct or if there is any significant amount of dust in the compressor housing.
During the inspection of center housing, inspect inside of the housing by removing the oil drain pipe
to check for sludge generation and its attachment condition at shaft area or turbine side.
Inspect or replace the air cleaner when the compressor wheel is damaged by inflow of foreign
materials.
Inspect both side of the turbocharger wheel after removing inlet and outlet pipe of the turbocharger. 1.
