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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
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.
