ALL CARS TURBOCHARGED
We are expects in turbochargers and turbo charged vehicles.
SMOKING FROM THE EXHAUST
Most of the time, your car’s exhaust should barely even be noticeable, quietly pumping out spent gasses from the combustion process at the back end of your vehicle. But if a problem were to arise, then blue, white or black smoke could start to appear from the exhaust pipe. This unusual exhaust smoke could be coming out of your exhaust when the car is stationary or accelerating, and it may well cause an immediate sense of dread that an expensive repair bill is on the horizon. While exhaust smoke from petrol or diesel cars could indeed be a sign of a serious mechanical issue, however, this is not always the case. There are a number of potential causes of pollutants coming from your car's rear end, and our technicians are there to help you figure out what's going on with your car.
HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION
Fuel consumption will varies within the same car depending on many outside factors. Temperature, traveling environment, and long trips will all play a part in your fuel efficiency. But the internal workings of your vehicle can affect your fuel efficiency, too, as can your personal habits. When you keep track of your mileage and how often you have to fill up, you can gain some valuable insights into your car’s health that can help you tell whether the car is consuming fuel at appropriate rates or not. Some times high fuel consumption can result from serious problems which can affect the car and its always good to seek professional advice before the problem gets bigger.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
There are many reasons why the turbocharger can lose engine oil. Loss of oil can be via the intake or exhaust gas port, it may mean that the pressure equilibrium is impaired due to problems with the oil/gas return line. it can be due to oil leakage:
Blocked, kinked, constricted or carbonized return line, oil level being too high, Internal pressure in crankcase too high due to excessive wear on pistons, piston rings and cylinder bores (excessive blow-by gases) or other reasons which need professionals to investigate and assist.
LOSS OF PERFORMANCE
Turbos generally provide ample warning signs before failing suddenly. When the turbo fails, you will no doubt experience a sudden loss of power. In smaller turbos. You will still be able to drive, although slowly and very poorly. Some people continue to drive and such a drive will use over a lot of oil and fuel because of the broken seals. We recommend professional technical assistance the moment you notice such loss in performance.
ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS
There are a variety of reasons why the check engine light sends warning signs or becomes illuminated and not all of them are potentially serious. Fortunately, the color of the light usually gives you an idea of the severity of the problem, so you should automatically know that a yellow/orange/amber light tells you that it is safe to continue driving, whereas a red light indicates a much more serious issue that requires immediate attention before you travel any further. We will trouble shoot and come up with diagnostic solutions for the identified underlying problem.
