Exhaust gas turbocharger - avoiding damage

Examinations on returned, damaged turbochargers have revealed that these have very of-
ten suffered damage due to illegal operating conditions.
For returns of damaged parts (in case of warranty/goodwill), the service partner/technician
must always take a sample of lubricating oil (approx. 200ml) from the lubricating oil sump
and have it ready until the investigation of the turbocharger has been concluded.
If we consider it necessary to carry out an analysis of the lubricating oil sample, it must be
ensured that this is transported in a plastic container which is completely leakproof and un-
breakable.
The service partner / fitter must ask the owner for the lubricating oil type and viscosity. The
container must be labelled with the engine data (TYPE, engine no., oil total operating hours
and lubricating oil type and viscosity).
The following operating instructions must be observed to avoid engine damage, especially
damage to the turbocharger:

Operating instructions

- lubricating oil The engine may only be operated with a lubricating oil accord-
ing to specification (see TR 0199-99-3002 or data in the operat-
ing manual).

Note:
The part numbers indicated in this document are not subject to updating.
Binding for the identification of spare parts is exclusively the spare parts documentation.

- when starting Do not run up the engine immediately to high idling speed or
full load operation from the cold state. Let the engine warm up
at low idling speed for about 30 seconds. The engine can then
be run up and loaded continuously (exception: emergency
power generators).
Cold starting with immediate run-up to high idling speed or full load
operation can cause bearing damage in the turbocharger due to in-
sufficient lubricating oil supply.
- when shutting Do not shut down the engine from full load operation. Let it idle
down for about 2 minutes.
When shutting down from full load, a build-up of heat can lead to cok-
ing of the remaining oil in the turbocharger and thus to failure of the
lube oil supply due to blockage of the lube oil bores.
