TURBOCHARGER INSPECTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)]

BME011313700W01

  Note

  • If the following problems exist, diagnosis the turbocharger using the following symptom troubleshooting procedures.

1. Lack of power: perform "NO.12 LACK/LOSS OF POWER". (See NO.12 LACK/LOSS OF POWER-ACCELERATION/CRUISE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

2. Oil leak: perform "NO.16 HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION/LEAKAGE". (See NO.16 HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION/LEAKAGE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

3. Noise: perform "NO. 21 ENGINE NOISE". (See NO.21 ENGINE NOISE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

## Compressor Wheel Inspection

1. Remove the air pipe between the air cleaner and the turbocharger. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

2. Visually inspect the compressor wheel from view A and verify that all fins are free from damage, cracks or bends.

  • If there are damaged fins, cracks or bends, replace the turbocharger.

  Note

  • To make the inspection easier, set a small mirror as shown in the figure and use a penlight.
  • If the compressor wheel is interfering with the compressor housing, it is likely that the fin edges are cracked, damaged, or bent.
  • If the compressor wheel is damaged, check the following before replacing the turbocharger to avoid reoccurrence of the problem.

  - Foreign material in intake air/exhaust system.
  - Oil pipe clogging.

## Turbine Wheel Inspection

1. Remove the joint pipe between the air cleaner and the turbocharger. (See EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

2. Visually inspect the turbine wheel from view B and verify that all fins are free from damage, cracks or bends.

  • If there are damaged fins, cracks or bends, replace the turbocharger.

  Note

  • To make the inspection easier, set a small mirror as shown in the figure and use a penlight.
  • If the turbine wheel is interfering with the turbine housing, it is likely that the fin edges are cracked, damaged, or bent.
